[wp-docs] Customization Examples

[Scott Merrill]

I suspect that one of the first things many new WP users will want to do 
-- especially those migrating from MT -- is customize their sites.  I 
think it's easy enough for all of us to help them along, and I'm taking 
the first steps toward that goal.  All of these customization examples 
can then be rolled into the official documentation distributed with 
version 1.2.

Today I started updating my WordPress 1.02 customization tutorial:
    http://www.skippy.net/wordpress/customize.html
to apply toward the forthcoming 1.2 release:
    http://www.skippy.net/wordpress/index.php?p=3

The list_cats function has changed substantially, and I can't find 
anything documenting the new options (though I haven't scoured the 
source, so I may have missed it there).

Can anyone clue me in to what these options do:
# children: display child categories (default = 1)
# child_of: display the categories (default = 0)
# categories: (default = 0)
# recurse: (default = 0)
# feed: (default = empty)
# feed_image: (default = empty)

I note with some interest that the get_links functions still use the old 
option style, instead of the query string style.  Is that due to change 
before the final 1.2 release?

Cheers,
Scott
