in the category list along the side i want them to remain in text. however, i would like to do little icon images within the post for the respective category. so rather than it write out [general] i would like to do an icon showing an image of whatever i want...

how would i go about doing this?

You could make some images called catergoryname.jpg and then use this in your template:

Graam's scheme works, but you have to use the_cat_ID() not the_category. I'm not sure why, exactly.

Anyway, you number your images 1.jpg, 2.jpg and so on, rather than naming them after the categories.

If you put the code immediately before the content tag in your template and add an align="left" or "align="right" to Graam's image code, your "icon" will show up in the first lines of your post. It won't affect the category list in your sidebar,

Is that what you did on your blog? Way cool, thanks!
