23 March 2010 by kristarella

A normal category page I don’t know if you’ve noticed: on a WordPress category archive page, posts from that category and all its child categories are displayed. I don’t know why.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
