  So, I was looking around in the wide wide world of blogging and saw
  a bunch of sites that list the categories they have on the side
  along with their archives and calendars and all kinds of fancy things...
  And I wanted one too!
</p>
<p>
  I took a gander at the <code>pyarchives.py</code> plugin and then
  cannabalized it into <code>pycategories.py</code> which returns that 
  fancy list of category links you see on the far right under the calendar.

  Then like a good boy, I added it to the CVS repository figuring it's
  probably going to be a must-have feature rather than an eclectic
  feature that only a few of us real blogging odd-balls would want.
