## Description

Just a little widget that adds in some useful functionality that WordPress (oddly
enough) doesn’t include stock … listing almost all of your categories. Say, for 
example, you have a utility category entitled “Events,” and you want to display 
a list of all your site’s categories, but don’t want “Events” to display in that
list. Instead of hard-coding a list into a text widget, just use this!

## Installation

 1. Upload the file `widget_almost_all_categories.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Position the widget in the desired sidebar through the `widgets` admin page

## FAQ

  WordPress doesn’t let you do this? Really?

Well, not through a simple interface like this. It lets you do it through code in
the back-end, but this is a simple wrapper to enable using it in your sidebar.
