   i know it sounds like a simple thing, but afaik this isn't possible without a hack. try googling for a category images plugin.

   oh and get_the_category is not in the Wiki list of template tags. i assume it is 1.3 only.

   Do you know by the way if wp_list_cats accepts arguments for diplaying
   Category name (the qty of post in the category)
   ...
   ?

   what's the point in having a template tags page that only covers some of the functions? seems kind of wacky to me.

    feel free to add to it, won't take much more time than it takes to complain.

    well I would, but I don't know enough php to decode all the top-sekrit functions.

    <?php
    $categories = get_the_category();
    echo $categories[0]->cat_name;
    echo $categories[1]->cat_name;
    etc.
    ?>

    So to get all your category names echoed, you could use something like:
    <?php
    $categories = get_the_category();
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
    echo $category->cat_name;
    } ?>
