 * after a posting i have a set of categories which im using to display data on 
   different parts of my site, but some of these TAGS need to be hidden.. the following
   code hides 1 category but i am unsure of how to edit this to put 3 categories
   in it.
 * <?php
    foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) { if ($cat->cat_ID != “19”) { echo‘
   cat_ID . ‘”>’ . $cat->cat_name . ‘, ‘; } } ?>
