What if you are using a widget and you aren't specifying a category, and instead are using 'all categories' - anyway to make it link to the blog?
Thanks @rfmeier!
@genevishgraphics, I know your question is almost a year old, but perhaps it will help someone else. In my tests, setting the category to "uncategorized" still returns the uncategorized posts. I was guess that if you were not having the same results, you could remove lines 25-27 so the function would not check to see if the category was empty.
