    Just wondering how I would go about editting the "Categories" Sidebar widget in Wordpress. Just want it to say "Article Categories" instead. I know, I know, I can just use the Links widget to make my own, but it would be nice to have functionality of the categories widget.

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

    Prolly here
    wp-includes/widgets.php

    But you should really be cautious about manipulating a core file like that.
