    You need to tell Wordpress that you want to show catagories that do not have posts yet. Open your index.php file and find this line.

    Code:
    <?wp_list_categories('show_count=0&title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
    Change it to this if you are using v2.8 of the theme:
    Code:
    <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&title_li=&depth=1&hide_empty=0'); ?>
    If you are using 2.9 use:
    Code:
    <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&hide_empty=true&orderby=name&order=asc&title_li='); ?>

    replace

    &hide_empty=true

    with

    &hide_empty=false

    see if that does it.
