I simply love that plugin - Batch categories, like a myriad of other wordpress users. (A thousand thanks to Stephanie Booth wouldn’t suffice ;) ), but I had problems getting it to work in 1.5.1 Lots of results out there, that explain how to fix it, but none that lets a newbie get it up quickly.

Hip hip hurrah! (applause ..) I finally managed to get my site up using wordpress. A truly wondeful peice of software. Thanks to all those developers and plugin-authors for their wonderful contribution to the world of blogging!

I’m trying to make it look more static, like a normal website, but that is beside the point. ...

Well I confess, I’m a tool fanatic . Before you get werid ideas let me tell you that what I mean is that I like to use small, efficient utilities, that help me get my work done quickly.
