   I'm playing with making a list of categories that, rather than the list is certain images, like 'category-1.jpg' etc. Would that be possible? I know it's not really best practice, but this is an artist's website lol

   This is probably best handled using CSS to insert image backgrounds and then push the text off screen. But you'd need to use get_categories() and run a foreach loop with some if/else, or switch, statements to insert the necessary ids/classes.

   Do-able but not simple unless you're comfortable with PHP and CSS.

   thanks for the comments :)
   that might be a bit beyond my ken right now.. hmm.

   i could, though to be reallylame, just put straight up xhtml in my sidebar.php instead of the php get_categories function right? i know, i know. but that seems like the quickest solution right now.. not too much chance of categories changing.
