   I'm looking for a way (preferably a straight up plugin) that can replace my category names (blogroll, film, news, etc...) with thumbnail images. That is, replace the text with small images. Anybody know anything about this?

   Fiddle with your theme. Doesn't need a plugin.

   In your theme, look for where the_category() gets called. Replace with something like this (modify as needed). I'm assuming (and strongly recommending) that your images use the category's slug as the filename.

   Background reading: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_the_category

   <?php
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) {
      echo '<img src="http://example.com/path-to-images/' . $cat->category_nicename . '.jpg" width="20" height="20" alt="' . $cat->cat_name . '" /> ';
   } ?>

   Modify width and height as needed.
