Dear Mark,

this is unfortunately a bad example. If you click through any of the
results for "category" <http://terrytao.wordpress.com/?s=category> on
Terry's page, you'll see that in nearly all cases, the only use of the
word "category" is in "n-Category Cafe", which appears in the sidebar
of every page, amongst the links to other blogs.

best,
Scott Morrison
