 * Is it possible to allocate an icon to a post and display it next to the title?
   
   I found post icon plugins for 1.5, but i use 2.0

 * I’m not exactly sure what you mean, like a different icon beside every post title
   or the same icon next to every post title?
 * Cheers,

 * I think he is looking to have an icon for each catagory and show up next to the
   title of his post.

 * Manually? Then you’ll probably want to use the custom fields.

 * I tried the thingy at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_the_category#Show_Category_Images](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_the_category#Show_Category_Images)
 * I put the following code in my index.php file in front of <?php the_title(); ?
   > … but nothing happened:
    <?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) { echo‘
   <img src=”[http://example.com/images/&#8217](http://example.com/images/&#8217);.
   $cat->cat_ID . ‘.jpg” alt=”‘ . $cat->cat_name . ‘” />’; } ?>
 * The image is exactly named like the category.
 * Any additional explanation on how to use the code on the page mentioned above!?
   Please?
 * Eric
 * Edit:
    DUH!!!! Ok found the flaw in my try! Picture name should be the number
   of the category (ID) not the name! It works!

 * I got it to work on my categories but is there a way similar to the above to 
   get icons/images in my PAGE titles as well. I did experiment a bit with it but
   no results yet.
 * Is there a way to get the page_id … instead of the cat_id like in the code above?
 * TIA,
 * Eric
