 * I’m wondering how I can add a couple catagory links to another section in my 
   sidebar other than the catagory section. I have an “authors” section at the top
   of my sidebar. I want two catagory links in there. so they go to the posts of
   the two authors. know what I mean? I think I need to copy some php from the sidebar
   template, but I’m not sure which one. I sitll want to keep the catagory section,
   but just add a couple other catagory links elsewhere on the sidebar. thanks a
   bunch.

 * Well, you can add the categories manually.
 * `<li><a title="specific categories" href="index.php?cat=42">Name of Category</
   a></li>`
