 * I am making a movie review site for a friend. I want to have a different icon
   for each category (Good, bad, etc). I did a search and found a code that looks
   like this:
 * `<img src="<?php the_category() ?>.jpg">`
 * Well, that doesn’t work. On the site it shows up like this:
 * General.jpg”
 * The image itself is named General.jpg so I don’t think it’s a problem with the
   file name. Any ideas as to what I should do?

 * If you do a search for category icons you will find a thread and a link to the
   plugin that can help you achieve this.

 * that bit of code should work but you should probably add a path to an images 
   directory of some kind before it
 * perhaps
 * `<imb src="/wp-content/cat_images/<?php the_category() ?>.jpg" />`
 * and dont forget alt text.
