Also, I would think a plugin would be overkill to do the same as in_category() does! Plugins are usually available for virtually every job possible in WordPress, but a plugin requires information in your database (so that WordPress knows it's activated) and is usually a lot longer than one line of code. If you're not scared of a little code then avoiding plugins if/when you can will leave your site faster and most likely less prone to security holes caused by out of date plugins. :) Todd, my posts are on WordPress coding so by way of example it's easier to understand the wide variety of template tags available to users.

I have experienced with a couple WordPress plugins that have taken care of it for me. I recommend using plugins to automate this process for you.
