However, when I attempt to add markup for a category description with a thumbnail representing the category – it strips it out. Since I’ve never used a plugin to make that work and there are plently of examples on my site, I thought I’d ask.

Anyway, thanks for the plugin referrals. I’ll check them out and see if they work for me but I’ll likely see if there is some code I can add to the funciton.php file first that will achieve the same thing. If not – yet another plugin for a seemingly small task.

Thanks again!
