[wp-hackers] Adding meta data to categories

[dan.f]

Thank you. thats perfect.  That saves me from the core functionality.  Now I
just need to see if anyone has built a gui for categories and this plugin
and Im there!!  If not, I will do that - but I have to believe its already
been done.  I will look around abit.
