I have created a category template
in Wordpress
for all posts that are
in the 'blog' category. The file name is single-blog.php. There is some conditional code
in single.php that checks whether the post is
in the 'blog' category and if it is it redirects it to single-blog.php. That seems to be working fine.
The problem is that on all the individual 'blog' categorized posts the post title and content are echoed below the footer of the page. I do not know why they are showing up and I haven't been able to stop it or hide it. The
Loop is getting closed on the template page, but I'm wondering if the
Loop from single.php is somehow also being sent over. You can view an example of the problem here:

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I am posting two sections of code below. The first is the conditional call
in single.php. The second is the code from the single-blog.php (the category post template).
the conditional call
in single.php.
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if (in_category('blog')) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/single-blog.php');
}?>
code from the single-blog.php (the category post template)
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<p><h2>The IQNavigator Blog</h2></p>
<em><a href="/category/blog">Blog Home</a></em> | <em><a href="/category/blog/feed/">Subscribe via RSS</a></em><p><br></br></p>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h1 class="pagetitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
