   Is there a way to do a loop just for categories?

   I want to show the categories on the front page and thats it.

   I want to show a category image, the category description and link and some more stuff. For every category. Maybe five or six.

   Thank you so much for any help on this!

   I am doing this old school ghetto style, which might be the only way it can be done?

   <?php
   $custocats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->categories ORDER BY cat_name");
   
   foreach ($custocats as $custocat) {
   
   echo "<a href=\"/archives/category/$custocat->category_nicename\">$custocat->cat_name</a> - ";
   	echo $custocat->category_description;
   echo "<br/>";
   
   }
   ?>
