 * Greetings favorably Mods and WordPress users.
 * I earnestly seek your counsel and would like to resolve this issue as soon possible.
   I am about to launch my new blog and was doing some testing until I came across
   the archive page with the ‘Uncategorized’ link.
 * I am still getting the hang of WordPress and would like to know the purpose of
   using the ‘Uncategorized’ link? For instance if I click on the archive link, 
   it takes me to the archive page with the old and new post in its order but with‘
   Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »’ beneath every post.
 * Is there any reasons for it to be there, or am I better off removing the ‘Uncategorized’
   link?
 * Please come to my rescue
 * Many thanks in advance
    CHEERS 🙂

 * Uncategoried is just the default category that comes with WordPress. Sidebar 
   links to categories is usually presented either with the Category Widget or the
   [template tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags), [wp_list_categories()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories).
   In addition,[the_category()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_category)
   displays category links for each post.
 * So, you may need to edit your themes to not display those links.
 * Please review to understand where you may need to look to edit out that code:

 * Hi Michael thank you so much for your reply.
 * That helps out a lot. I can remove the link for now until I read up on those 
   articles and then I can rectify it later on if needed.
 * Thanks again.
    CHEERS 🙂
