My category pages all have "category" in the URL. And it's too late to change that. So I feel your pain. (For me, category pages are good things to SEO for, not bad ones.) CAM Got it.

When I started, I didn't know many of the wordpress settings and such. Beyond that, I NEVER expected it to take off how it has. I was expecting maybe 20 subscribers of people I already talked to. So it seemed silly to mess with the URLs too much. Also, I've been in a bit of a traffic surge now for a couple months, with steady growth. If I were to switch now, the time it takes Google to adjust to the change(and the difficulties that sometimes surface with that change) could kill the momentum that I have worked so hard for. The initial rush is slowing down(from 20-40 new subscribers per day to about 4-12), so I may be switching it over soon. And also thank you very much for the kind words. They're appreciated :-) Thanks for the citation :-)
