Yeah, but if you’re wanting to only pull out one or two cats, you could do it pretty easily. Your observation’s duly noted and appreciated.

Geof,
For someone with more than 30 categories, it might be a pain to have so many tags to build a category list. This tip was from the ugly-but-works quarter. The underscore doesn’t show anywhere, by the way.

Huh, I’ve been using the “Rating” to order it how I want. Heh heh, ten percent… pretty clever.

How about, oh, using the new functions that allow you to get links by category ID? You’d have to invoke the function for every category, but it would be worth it to not have to bugger with the category names.

I’ll post code examples if desired.

I would never have got that one !

And using spaces before the names is cool too.
