 > My site has categories disabled higher up the stack, and I never updated
 some template overrides that were rendered moot by some reshuffling in
 Twenty Ten (I think by me, ironically) later in the 3.0 cycle.
 Oh I see, that'd explain all that then!

 Replying to [comment:2 nacin]:
 > A post must always have at least one category, the default category if
 nothing else. I think a lot of us would love to see it go, but that is an
 unfortunate reality for now because so many themes (including Twenty Ten,
 as you identified here) assume a post has at least one category. So, until
 we decide to change that across the board in a future release, I'm closing
 as invalid.
 Fair enough, personally I'd like to see this an option in a future
 version, sometimes things just don't need a category, but that's best
 saved for a developer chat!

 I might just have to do that...? :D

 Replying to [comment:2 nacin]:
 > Side note -- you should definitely set up a local install. Well worth
 the effort especially for someone learning how to write PHP and hack
 WordPress.
 I will, said that for ages now though, although I do still quite like my
 patch even if it still is useless, actually knew what I was doing for
 once! :) *yay me*
