   hi, im making my own dynamic sidebar and i just want to exclude a category from this script, any help would be appreciated:

   <div class="widget">
   <?php query_posts('showposts=10'); ?>
   <li>
   	<h3>Latest News</h3>
   	<ul>
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   		<li><a href='<?php the_permalink() ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   		<?php endwhile; ?>
   	</ul>
   </li>
   </div>

   The template tag, query_posts(), has a cat=-7 argument. Replace the 7 with your category ID.

   ok that makes sense, i actually need to exclude it from this code (sorry my mistake) and not sure how to add the cat exclusion
   <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h3>News Categories</h3>'); ?>

   i tried this but it doesnt work, am i close!:

   <?php wp_list_categories('cat=-13&show_count=1&title_li=<h3>News Categories</h3>'); ?>

   The template tag, wp_list_categories(), uses an exclude= argument (with NO minus sign).

   <?php wp_list_categories('exclude=13&show_count=1&title_li=<h3>News Categories</h3>'); ?>
