 * Hi there
 * I’ve just found out that when I’m displaying the categories with
 * > <?php the_category(); ?>
 *  it creates an unordered list (ul) by default.
    I’m okay with that, but ain’t
   the default value for ul’s
 * > display: inline;
 * ??
 * Cause I had some trouble managing to get the different categories on one line.
   
   I now use the $separator-parameter to divide the categories with a comma and 
   now it displays allright. (one line only).
 * but even when I’m giving the ul class=”post-categories” which is generated automatically
   the value
    display: inline; It doesn’t display on one line.
 * Can somebody tell me why I had problems with all this?
 * Thx & Cheers
