Why would New Products show two of each item?

First of all, my site is the plain vanilla zen-cart. I haven't added any add-ons yet and haven't made any customizations. So, why would the New Products list each product twice that are in my Category? Does it have something to do with the fact that I have 2 sub-categories in this category?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, jim

You do not have any images for these!!!
By default the "alt" is the product name and then this is repeated for the actual product name field...
Add an image to one of these and see the difference

We really don't need an image for the products as the Category image would be the same for each one. Is there any setting or way around this? I am pretty new to zen-cart.

I added a product image for each one and now everything looks fine.

Idle curiosity, is there some reason you are not showing prices for your items. You happen to have something I will want to buy in the next few months <G>

P.S. You ALWAYS need pictures - unless you want to spend your time answering questions like "What Shade of Green is used for the Green Strip cups"

The prices will be in there soon. We are still configuring and learning zen-cart. I guess I'm going to buy the book and hope it helps us move along quicker.
