For example I would like for only the the first cat to show.

The site owners are going to want to use a category as a blog, but then we're also using categories to filter out "news and announcements" and "featured home page items." In order to make sure it's really clear where a user is, then, I needed to add the category title to the category page, and the single post page. However, I did not want it to appear in the date archive. By the way, I'm using WordPress' built in navigation menu, so in order to point to a category page, all I did was add the category to the menu. Bam. Done. (unfortunately this means I couldn't set up a template page for the category easily, but oh well). I attached this to the navigation above, as that was the only hook I could find that appeared on the pages I wanted these titles to show up on. Here's the code (most of which is grabbed from wordpress codex and forum): <pre><code>//put blogtitle onto a single page function blogtitle_on_single_page() { if (!is_date()) { ?> <h1><?php $categories = get_the_category(); foreach($categories as $category) { $cat_name = $category->name; if($cat_name != 'featured') echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($category->term_id).'">'.$cat_name . '</a> '; } ?></h1> <?php } } add_action('thematic_navigation_above','blogtitle_on_single_page');</code></pre>
