 * Hi All,
 * Im new to writing widgets and thought Id ask here for some help. I have a widget
   that will search a custom category for content. I want to modify it so that I
   can set the default category that appears. Ill be using it on a number of pages
   covering different topics so I want to be able to vary the default.
 * Any help would be appreciated
 * thanks!
