   Hi, I had been trying to list the categories with their descriptions (in "ul" unordered list).

   <u>Example:</u>

   Category 1 Link >> This is a description of Category 1
   Category 2 Link >> This is a description of Category 2
   Category 3 Link >> This is a description of Category 3
   ....

   Currently, I have only been able to use the wp_list_categories function and use the cat_description as the title attribute but haven't found a plugin for the above.

   <ul>
    <?php
     $categories=  get_categories();
     foreach ($categories as $cat) {
   	echo '<li>'.'<a href="'.get_category_link($cat->cat_ID).'">'.$cat->description.'</a>'.'</li>';
     }
    ?>
   </ul>

   Outrix's solution didn't work for me. Here's what did work for me (I hate dealing with unordered lists):

   <?php
   $categories = get_categories();
   foreach ($categories as $cat) {
   	if ($cat->category_parent != 0) {
   		echo '<span style="padding-left:10px;">';
   	}
   	echo '<a href="'.get_option('home').get_option('category_base').'/'.$cat->category_nicename.'/">'.$cat->cat_name.'</a> ('.$cat->category_count.')';
   	if ($cat->category_description != '') {
   		echo ' - '.$cat->category_description;
   	}
   	if ($cat->category_parent != 0) {
   		echo '</span>';
   	}
   	echo '<br />';
   }
   ?>
