OK – I’ll do that – thanks ?? megan

ok – this is just a little “PS”

I figured I should show some code.
I’m making a little plugin for myself that will allow me to show a particular set of category links on a wordpress page and I want to be able to put the category description under each link. I am basing my plugin off of “List category posts” by Fernando Briano. The code below works like I need it to except for adding the category description and I use it in the page content like: [mycatlist id=15 depth=1]

function mycatlist_func($atts, $content=null) {
  $atts=shortcode_atts(array(
			     'id' => '0',
			     'name' => 'default',
			     'depth' => '1'
			     ), $atts);
  return my_cat_list($atts);
}
add_shortcode('mycatlist', 'mycatlist_func');

function my_cat_list($atts){
  if($atts['name']!='default' && $atts['id']!='0'){
    $category='category_name='.$atts['name'];
  }else{
    $category='category='.$atts['id'];
  }
$output = "<ul class='mycatlist'>";
$output .= wp_list_categories('echo=0&title_li=&child_of='.$atts['id'].'&depth='.$atts['depth']);
$output .= "</ul>";
  return $output;
}

hoping for guidance – thanks, Megan
