   Hi

   I am having tremendous fun converting wordpress into a customised CMS, but now I'm down to my final challenge.

   I don't want my Categories links in the sidebar, but
   rather have them at the bottom of my page in 3 columns.

   e.g. NOT

   ----------
   ----------
   ----------
   ----------
   ----------
   ----------
   ----------
   ----------

   (e.g. as per usual in the sidebar)

   BUT rather:

   ------------- ------------- -------------
   ------------- ------------- -------------
   ------------- ------------- -------------
   ------------- ------------- -------------
   ------------- ------------- -------------

   (i.e. in the footer of a page rather than in the sidebar)

   The reason why is because I plan to have a LONG list of categories, and I don't want the page to go on forever as a result of being confined to 1 column in the sidebar.

   At the moment, I cannot work out how to do it.

   I know there was talk of CSS3 coming out with a multi-column feature, but my site needs to be compatible across browsers.

   Is there any way of doing this with PHP? The problem is coding it in such a way that the links list starts a new column once a third of the links have been called.

   I'm sure I am missing an obvious and simple solution. Can anybody help me find it??

   I'm sure many other WordPress users would find this feature useful too - especially for those looking to WordPress as a fat-free CMS.

   Regards
   Max

   But that's only for your blog roll isn't it?
