EE category parameter

I discovered what had caused my categories navigation to go awray.  Adding the category=“not 244” to the weblog:entries tag is the culprit. This is explained in the docs like this:

Note:Using this parameter will automatically cause ExpressionEngine to ignore any category information specified via the URL. For instance, if you are on a “category page” (e.g. a “/C13/” segment in the URL) that will be completely ignored in favor of whatever you have specified via the parameter.

I had seen that in the docs, but hadn’t connected it to my problem for some reason. In any case the info in the categories that I didn’t want displayed is now in uncategorized entries that I can still view on the non-category page. Everything is fine - now I can get back to adding content to that site and move on to my theme giveaway design.
