 * I want to add a “recently updated categories” section to my sidebar. This will
   only display the titles of the posts, and link to the category, nothing more.
   I hae been searching and haven’t been able to find something. I figure it’d be
   just a couple tags to insert.
 * I was trolling around the docs and the only thing I could find relating to my
   problem is a “link category”. I’m not sure if this is what I should be using?
   If so, how does it know to only display recent categories if its just a list 
   of links?

 * Edit: it should only display the titles of the categories recently updated, with
   a link to that category. (second line)

 * You can have recently updated _posts_ – as you wrote in the title of this topic–
   but I’ve never heard of anything displaying recently updated categories.
