    What are you talking about here? What do you mean by “syndicate rss feeds”? All you have to do to get a feed is to go to the feed’s URL.

    Looking closer, you’re missing something.. Specifically, the table name:

    SELECT cat_id FROM WHERE cat_name='Contributors'

    There’s no table name there, like wp_posts or whatever. Those are all setup in wp-settings.php, so the only thing I can think of is that you’re missing files in your WordPress installation, somehow.

    i’ll try that now…thanks so much…any info on this would be great..

    but here’s the thing…i didn’t manually install…i used fantastico in installing WP with both hosts, bluehost and hostgator and i created about 6 o r 7 of them.

    Ugh. Automated installers.

    Yeah. Don’t use those. They rarely work, in my experience.
