   I'm working on a template, and I'm in the post loop, trying to get the category *name* of the post. the_category() function returns the category in a list format, I just want something that echo's back the name of the category...
   Can someone direct me to the appropriate function, I can't seem to find one in the template-functions-category.php include.
   Thanks

   edit: make that "something that *returns* back the name of the category, not echo's it"

   nm, found i had to edit the css in order to stop it from being returned as a list... seems odd that a php function would return a string indicating a css class name... what happened to seperation of data and design?
