  Is it possible to have an image rather than text, or image and text, for a category? I know wordpress.ORG had something like it (visible here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-depending-on-catagory) and I’d love to incorporate it into my site.

  I have a CSS upgrade, and wonder if this is possible.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The problem is we do not have access to the underlying theme files, nor can we use PHP scripting. Where exactly are you wanting this image display for categories, in the categories widget or on a page or what?

  If it’d be possible, it would replace the text version of the different categories where applicable right there in the post itself.

  Ah, that is not possible at wordpress.COM, and even with a self-hosted installation that post you reference is over 6 years old, and wordpress has change significantly in that time, so it would take a PHP scripting guru to figure out how exactly to accomplish it on the latest version of wordpress.

  Wonderful. Thank you for your assistance. I may just manually code an image to show the category along side it (or at the end of the text body).

  You’re welcome and that sounds like a good solution.
