 * Heya, I have setup my own custom taxonomy named ‘labels’ by adding the relevant
   code to my child themes function.php. It works perfectly but I was wondering 
   if there was anyway I could get this taxonomy to appear in the options for other
   plugins. For example, the slideshow plugin requires you to define a category 
   of posts to display however I would like to replace the category with my own 
   custom taxonomy (labels) so that I can select a group of posts from my custom
   taxonomy rather than the default wordpress category taxonomy.
 * Basically I would like to replace the standard option of selecting a wordpress
   category so I can select a category out of my own custom taxonomy named labels.
