# Does this plugin exist?

 * I’m about to launch a new blog that will contain categorized entries on three
   different sports – football, cricket and hockey.
 * Each entry will be filed under the appropriate category.
 * There will also be a fourth category called ‘general’ for odds and ends.
 * So far, so simple.
 * However, what I’m after is a way to allow visitors to decide which category they
   view as their own, cookied default.
 * In other words, Person A would arrive and be only shown entries from the Football
   and general categories.
 * Person B would only see Hockey and general.
 * Person C may have broader tastes and be shown football, cricket and general.
 * The categories that they would see would have been chosen by them on their first
   visit and set as a cookie on their computer.
 * Am I explaining this well?
 * If so, does anyone know if this can be done with a plug-in – and if so, which
   one?
 * Thanks,
 * Martin.

 * have an html form to get their preference. store preference category with setcookie
 * then put something like this on your blog page:
 * `
    $category = $_COOKIE['proper stuff here']; if($category) { query_posts('category_name
   =$category'); } <!-- run the loop -->
 * i’ve left alot of wholes that you can fill in with the PHP documentation.
 * … as for a plugin, i don’t know.

 * That would sure make an interesting plugin.
 * WP-Category Preference
 * When you’ve got the rest of the code sorted out to your liking, please write 
   it up somewhere and let us know, or write the plung in yourself.
 * Many folks would benefit deeply from this sort of device.
