New plugin – Add shiny icons to your categories

Recently I needed to add some icons to my categories on a project. Unfortunately it’s sometimes quite hard to find a good and easy to use plugin for simple functionality.

All the information you require is (hopefully) at the plugin page, otherwise don’t hesitate to drop me a line.
