 * I have a template I setup through Artiseer which is working well for me. I tried
   to edit the template to put a simple link in the category section of the site
   so I can always have a link to the home page. in the UL section, I added a LI
   with a link just prior to the call to wp_list_categories(‘show_count=1&title_li
   =’). When I pull up the page, my link isn’t there. If I add a nice little <!–
   bob –> to the page prior to the category, I can see that so I know the code is
   being updated but it seems that WP is pulling out my custom link in the UL section.
 * Anyway, what’s the best way to hack a custom link into the categories section?
