 * try to use the ‘include’ parameter even if it is not explicitely mentioned in
   the codex; [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories)
 * example:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_dropdown_categories( array('include' => array(3, 5, 9, 152)) ); ?>
       ```
