Remove the /category/ from WordPress category permalink

Personally I am not a big fan of /category/. If you look at some popular blogs, you can see them having categories http://yourdomain.com/wordpress instead of http://yourdomain.com/category/wordpress

RewriteRule ^category/(.+)$ http://www.yourblogname.com/$1 [R=301,L]
