Show Category Image with Link in Magento

Question

On my Magento homepage, I'd like to include a link to a few categories, along with their respective Category images. Obviously, I could manually link to the images, but it seems like it would only make sense there is a way to automatically pull the Category image along with the link. Help?

Answer 1

You may use this method : http://docs.magentocommerce.com/Mage_Catalog/Mage_Catalog_Model_Category.html#getImageUrl

Answer 2

If you're using Magento 1.4+, I'm pretty sure you can do through a widget if your homepage is edited through a CMS page.
