 * wp-leftycats is a replacement for the default WordPress function `wp_list_cats`.
   It’s ONLY aim is to move your designated feed image from the right-hand side 
   of the category listings to the left-hand side.
 * If you are NOT using a feed image, and don’t want it (the feed image) moved, 
   this plugin will do you absolutely no good .:)
 * the modified function takes all of the same arguments that wp_list_cats takes:

 * gee, I tried doing exactly the same thing, but it wasn’t working for some reason.
   at least I see now that it’s how I thought. I must have had a typo or something.

 * I actually found a site late last night (AFTER doing that) that purports to have
   accomplished this with a lot less code changes, though he edited the core file(
   which some dont want to do) and honeslty I couldnt understand his/the directions
   to save my life. I also couldnt tell if his changes would validate if you used
   subcats, etc..
 * Theres prolly an easier way, but hell, no-one else did it.

 * i think the plugin form is the right way. I don’t believe a person should ever
   modify core files, unless they have the skill to do it themselves. the plugin
   is mucho useful, a great contribution to the community.

 * Hi as you know acording to this link [](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/list_cats)
   
   and this [](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_cats) This function
   has been deprecated. That means it has been replaced by a new function or is 
   no longer supported, and may be removed from future versions. All code that uses
   this function should be converted to use its replacement if one exists.
 * and WordPress 2.1 saw the introduction of a new and more inclusive template tag
   wp_list_categories, intended to replace wp_list_cats and list_cats.
 * so i think it would be very good if whooami upgrade his plugin. 🙂 thanks
