   Hi,

   I want to be able to control which categories list on my sidebar. Can anyone help me out?

   I found a couple links, below, on how to create a sidebar category list with excluded categories. I'm using the text widget and WP 2.8. does not work, I get no category list with this php, just blank. Am I doing something wrong?

   I tried
   

   <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&exclude=276&title_li='); ?>

   and
   

   <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&exclude=10&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>'); ?>

   Thanks!

   Wolf

   Don't add the code to the text widget. Add it to the sidebar template file (presumably sidebar.php) - either before <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?> or after <?php endif; ?>.
