 * what’s the point in having a template tags page that only covers some of the 
   functions? seems kind of wacky to me.

   <?php $categories = get_the_category(); echo $categories[0]->cat_name; echo $
   categories[1]->cat_name; etc. ?>

 * So to get all your category names echoed, you could use something like:
    <?php
   $categories = get_the_category(); foreach ($categories as $category) { echo $
   category->cat_name; } ?>
