 * It’s probably similar to a multi-select box where you create a listbox or dropdown
   box that you can hold the CTRL key down to multi select. I would suggest the 
   linking qualifier be “or” because not every post will contain all the categories
   they select.
 * Sorry I can’t help you with the code. My knowledge with this type of thing was
   limited to Access Databases.
 * type in “listbox” or “dropdown” as a place to start.

 * In short, yes.
 * it involves going into your presentation menu and changing your sidebar template.
   However, if you do, you won’t have “quick links” to the specific categories you’ve
   created. Unless everything you post is “uncategorized” this may create issues
   for you.
 * There’s “experts” here that would help you better than I could. I know that what
   I’ve said isn’t much help yet.
 * The “posted in” is also embedded in the templates. Remove that (and only that)
   php function in your (is it post?) template and you’re good to go.

 * When I was inputting images in the text areas of the widgets I HAD to specify
   either a width or a height in order for them to display. I tested this by putting
   an image in the “title” section of your widget and…it didn’t work. 🙁 I suppose
   changing the source code works as well, but it would be nice to be able to do
   it to the widget title box without having to muck with the source.
 * BTW it didn’t work in a Daiko text box header either.

 * Resolved!
 * Oh and DON’T use Ultimate Category Excluder. Not only is is global but it will“
   hide” your category titles and render ANY side bar link as cat_ID=” Thereby showing
   ALL your categories no matter what you click on.

 * I know this is a long time in replying, but we did a server switch (once from
   an expensive service to a cheaper one that “lost” our database in the transition
   and a second server switch when the cheaper service upgraded their host) so no
   luck in converting. Thanks for the offer though. You need to advertise. 🙂
 * The rest I’ve figured out by “learning” php.

 * rrisher,
 * you typed:
    `<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/
   x-icon" />`
 * it needs to be:
    `<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory');?
   > /favicon.ico" />`
 * Note the “<? php” part
 * (add-on thought edit)Also, it won’t work if some of your IE (*grumble*) security
   settings are enabled/disabled…I can’t remember accurately which one you have 
   to turn off or on because I’m a FF junkie. I only check IE if I’m designing css
   to make certain it works correctly.
 * Hope I’ve helped.

 * I’m answering my own question here. I installed the above plugin, and yes…it 
   is a global exclude. Not too bad if you are considering only posting <i>certain
   </i> content on your “index” page, then linking to the rest.
 * You could even take this a step farther, have a welcome message that you update
   periodically with any other news you want to share, leave it uncategorized and
   set the include for only that category. Everything else you give a category and
   it gets buried.
 * Now, go to your text widgets and enable them so that a certain widget only shows
   on pages that aren’t category 1 and voila! you have a customized sub-page sidebar.
   In reverse, you could have a text widget sidebar that only includes when the 
   uncategorized posts are displayed. That would be links to your interior pages.

 * Way cool! I knew it had to be something that easy, but will it be replaced when
   you upgrade? (back it up and make notes…I guess)
 * OK, so I’ve read in the documentation that text widgets support html and javascript
   markup.
 * So…can anyone show me a link to an example for the wp_list_categories function
   that is in either of these two formats. I’ll figure out what I need from there.

 * using standard WP you get up to 9 text boxes. change the number in the pull-down
   box.
 * I’m wondering if you could change the number to a higher one?
 * Also,
 * With the text widget in widget-logic, can you input php functions? *edited: it
   doesn’t work. Text will show, images will show, links will show, but a function
   like:
 *     ```
       <ul>
       <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=1
       &use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=8'); ?>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * will not show.

 * I’m thinking about installing “[Ultimate Category Excluder](http://www.planetmike.com/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/)”
   but isn’t that a “global” exclude?
