 * optiondates=1
 * It’s just a flag on whether to display the date (1) or not (0). It isn’t a format
   definition.
 * From [Codex on wp_list_cats()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_cats):
   
   optiondates (boolean) Sets whether to display the date of the last post in each
   category. Valid values:
 *  * 1 (True)
    * 0 (False – default)

 * If you go to my site you will see what it is doing to my site the way I have 
   it written. [http://www.grahamfamilytx.net](http://www.grahamfamilytx.net) I 
   want to exclude catagory 2 and have the date and post count show on the displayed
   catagory.
