BranfordMagazine: I hate to ask!

Hi Guys I hate to ask but My heads astray.

I'm trying to get the BranfordMagazine WP theme up and running but I'm banging my head against a brick wall with the lead story.

I've created a category called 'Breaking News' which will contain my lead stories, and in the category order this category is numbered no.5 I've also put a dummy post into this category.

I have altered the ui.tabs accordingly to show the following:

// Lead Story module begins
query_posts('showposts=1&cat=5'); //selects 1 article of the category with ID 1 ?>

Now turning to my demo page everything seems to be working out: the appropriate image is in place, the article snippet is showing up and linking properly to the full image.

But here is my problem: Just above the Lead Article Headline it indicates that it is the 'Ucategorized' category that is housing the post when if fact it is the category 'Breaking News' that houses that post. Click on the title of the post and I'll get the full story; click on Uncategorized and it takes me into the uncategorized list of posts.

There must be something else I'm not doing but I can't for the life of me figue out what and I'm sure the answer is simple, but I can't for the life of me find it. I've been to WordPress but so far no one has answered but I know Warriors won't let me down; well hopefully won't let me down

    Go to each post inside "Uncategorized". Edit it. Look for which categories this post sits in. Uncheck "Uncategorized" there. Repeat until you took all post under "Uncategorized".

    Each time you create a post it's put inside "Uncategorized" by default.
    Another way is to rename this category. So you don't have "Uncategorized" category anymore.

      Ah got to the bottom of it - there was one small piece of code I hadn't changed properly. Corrected it and I'm sailing

    I always change the name of the uncategorized category to a Latest News category. Also MyCategoryOrder plugin as well as the page order, link order, etc plug-ins are wonderful.
