 * Hi!
 * I’d like to make a requirement for multiple categories for the select posts to
   be displayed. Here’s the part of my loop I need to adjust.
 *  <?php query_posts(array(‘category_name’ => uncategorized, ‘showposts’ => 2));
   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 * I need posts with both the uncategorized and nightlife categories checked.
 * How can I best do this?
 * Much thanks,
    Lara
