 * Lorelle – Yup. I was hoping there was a tag to call that info.
 * Kafka – I have a header graphic for diff categories. So, I want to be able to
   pull the right header image over the excerpt of each piece.
    I hit on this:
 * ‘<?php echo category_description(the_category_ID()); ?>’ but that returns me 
   the cat number and description. so I get 1category, 2hotbed, etc… While this 
   isn’t ideal, it’s definately workable.
 * I tried your suggestion of echo $cat, but I am guessing I have to load $cat myself
   to get it to work? Or is it a var I can call within the loop?

 * I would post original question, but I can’t edit it anymore.
 * Thanks though. My problem was I was under impression that excerpt was stripped
   of tags. I then saw I was confused, and that wasn’t the case.
 * I had hoped to remove post before anyone exerted time/effort wirting me answer,
   but I was too late 🙂
 * But if someone has an answer to this:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=26770](http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=26770)
   that would be very nice.
 * Thanks.

 * Hello,
    I am having the same problem, been looking around, can’t find a way. 
   I notice wordpress.org uses “id=” in their menus, so does wordpress.org use WP
   for their site? Or do they make the menus by hand, or is there a hack? ANy help
   would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Plebian.
