\#Blog Categories List - SilverStripe widget

**This [SilverStripe](http://www.silverstripe.org/) widget outputs a list of your blog categories.**

\##Installation & Usage

Rename the downloaded folder to `widget_blogcategories` (that bit is important), drop it into the root directory of your SilverStripe site and run a `/dev/build`. You will then see the widget in your list of available widgets.

You will need the [SilverStripe Blog module](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog) and the [SilverStripe Blog Categories module](https://github.com/IOTI/silverstripe-blogcategories), plus a widget area in your template.
