It provides a WordPress Widget that displays the list of categories in

## FAQ

  Really? A widget for two-column category display?

Yes. Really.

I looked for something like this and didn’t find it.
 Baffling. So I built one.

  Seriously? There isn’t one of these already?

I don’t think so.

  Will it work with XXXX theme?

I don’t know. You’ll just have to try it out. It works with the themes
 I tried.

  How did you get to be so awesome?

Some say I was born this awesome, but it’s not true. It’s something I’ve
 worked
at all my life.
