   I have a site where I'm going to be posting 3 times a day, in the morning, afternoon and night.

   i want to use the_category to show when the posts were made (they'll be called breakfast lunch and dinner) but the posts are also categorized under other things too.

   how to i exclude the other categories from showing up when i use the_category? it would be better to include the 3 categories actually, because i have a lot of other categories too.

   I was thinking i could also achieve this with post formats but how would i do this? i know you can't make your own custom post format.

   and help??

   you could use the conditional tag:

   example:

   <?php if(in_category('breakfast')) { echo 'breakfast'; }
   elseif(in_category('lunch')) { echo 'lunch'; }
   elseif(in_category('dinner')) { echo 'dinner'; } ?>
