## Description

This simple plugin permits you to upload images to categories, tags and custom taxonomies
just like to posts.
 This feature is very useful when you want to show unique image
in header tor every category or even some slideshow of images. Also you can show
a list of categories/subcategories with a little thumbnail am much more.

By the way, this plugin just uses wordpress native functionality – no aditional 
tables and nothing like that.
 Also it uses wordpress images so all sizes are generated
automatically (custom sizes included).

 1. Upload `wp_cat_images` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Place `<?php cat_image(<term_id>); ?>` in your templates to show category thumbnail
