   Hey there,

   I've just started working on a new wordpress theme and I would like to include, next to each post, a category icon.
   The problem is that i don't know exactly how to state the conditions (for example, all articles under the category 1 should have a big 1 logo for an icon, and so on for the next ones).

   Can you please help me?

   And what if a post is in more than 1 category?

   Then I'll assign an icon that corresponds to "multiple categories".

   Do you know the solution to my problem?

   <?php if(in_category('1')) $cat_image = cat1.gif;
   elseif(in_category('2')) $cat_image = cat2.gif;
   [...]
   else $cat_image = multi-cat.gif;?>

   It's a bit clumsy, though, and could be difficult to maintain.
