 * I am trying to make the title “Portfolio” itself linked to `http://matthewbaltrusitis.
   com/portfolio`
 * This is the code as it is now:
 * `<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&child_of=12&title_li=<a>Portfolio</a>');?
   >`
 * Hopefully I told you everything you guys/gals needed in order to help me.
 * Thanks a bunch,
    Matthew

 * `<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&child_of=12&title_li=<a>Portfolio</a>');?
   >`
 * I don’t know it that could work but if you use `<a>` , there will have to be 
   a link…
    like
 * `<a href="http://matthewbaltrusitis.com/category/portfolio">Portfolio</a>`
 * but seriously, I’ve never thought of putting a link as title_li … so I’m not 
   sure that can work… try…
 * The other thing…
    It’s not matthewbaltrusitis.com/**categories**/portfolio but
   [http://www.matthewbaltrusitis.com/category/portfolio](http://www.matthewbaltrusitis.com/category/portfolio)
 * you can change what it says (category or categories or whatever in the settings
   under permalinks)
 * Good luck

 * Ugh duh, obviously. Don’t know what I made the plural.

 * Try:
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php bloginfo('url);?>/portfolio">Portfolio</a>
       <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&child_of=12&title_li='); ?>
       ```
   
 * Though I did notice that Portfolio is already a link in your site’s top nav menu.

 * I was able to achieve this by using
 * `<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li='); ?>`
 * Believe it or not, but now I have a “Blog” link showing up. I tried adding:
 * `<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&exclude=BLOG ID #&title_li='); ?>`
 * But that didn’t work.

 * `exclude=BLOG ID` is what you wrote?
 * You’ll have to find out what ID your Blog-Category has and exclude that. Or did
   you allready do that? I can’t see from what you wrote.
 * To find out the ID go to the Menu – categories and hold your Mouse over the blog-
   category. Then you will see the ID in the statusbar at the bottom of the browser.
 * `exclude=5` (where 5 of course is your blog categories’ ID)
