   Hello,

   Currently, when you hover over one of the categories on Oxstones.com, i.e. 'Announcements,' you see a hovertip that says, 'View all posts in Announcements.'

   How could I change this to display the Category Description, rather than the name?

   Thanks!
   Adam

   What code are you using to generate those boxes at the foot of the page?

   Which boxes? What's in them? The ads?

   <!-- Announcements -->
   <ul class="latest">
   <?php $feature_post = get_posts( 'category=26&numberposts=1' ); ?>
   <?php foreach( $feature_post as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
   <li><h2 class="latest"><?php the_category(' '); ?></h2></li>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   <?php $feature_post = get_posts( 'category=26&numberposts=3' ); ?>
   <?php foreach( $feature_post as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
   <?php if (function_exists('c2c_get_custom')) : ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
   		<?php echo c2c_get_custom('post-image','<img src="','" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="post-image" />',''); ?></a></li>
   <?php endif; ?>
     		<li class="list-time"><?php the_time('d'); ?>.<?php the_time('M'); ?></li>
     		<li class="list-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
     		<li class="latest-excerpt"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></li>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>

   Try changing:

   <li><h2 class="latest"><?php the_category(' '); ?></h2></li>

   to:

   <?php $thisCat = get_category( '26' );
   $thisCat_permalink = get_category_link( '26' );?>
   <li><h2 class="latest"><a href="<?php echo $thisCat_permalink; ?>" title="<?php echo $thisCat->category_description;?>"><?php echo $thisCat->name;?></a></h2></li>
