   Hello, this seems basic but I couldn't find an answer in my searches...

   I would like to have the sidebar list descriptions along with the category names. So, where it now displays as:

   Category 1
   Category 2
   Category 3
   etc.

   I'd like it to display:

   Category 1
   - Category 1 description
   Category 2
   - Category 2 description
   Category 3
   - Category 3 description

   The only thing I've found is how to set it so that the description is used as the title tag for a linkl nothing about simply displaying the description.

   Any ideas?

   How about this?

   Well, the category description tag (<?php category_description(category); ?>) works great for displaying a description on a page, but I want it as part of the list...

   Currently, my category tag within the sidebar just reads:

   <?php list_cats(0, '', 'name', 'asc', '', 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0,'','','','','') ?>

   Since that's generating the list, I don't see how to tweak it to include category descriptions and don't see how I can use <?php category_description(category); ?> to accomplish that goal.

   (Thanks for any & all help, though!)
