Well, you need to add in some category and comment code

CODE

<MTEntries lastn="5" offset="0">
<$MTEntryTitle$> | <MTCategories>
<a href="<$MTCategoryArchiveLink$>"><$MTCategoryLabel$></a></MTCategories> | <MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<a href="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTCommentScript$>?entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenComments(this.href); return false">Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
</MTEntries>

I got this information from the Category tags section of the manual and the default templates.

Does that help?

thx you helped me a lot.
but it doesn't work yet,

with rebuilding i get this error:

Build error in template 'Main Index': Error in tag: Error in tag: Error in tag: <$MTCategoryArchiveLink$> can be used only if you have enabled Category archives.

Where can i enable this option?

Go to the weblog administration and on the left select "Weblog Config" and then at the top of that page go to "Archiving" and select the Category box. Rebuild.
