Category description next to image

On my category pages, I'd like to have the category description next to the image - as it is on the product pages. How would I achieve this, please?

You would have to edit the SQL query in the module file to get the category's description as well as its name and image, then put that into a variable (array element) and output it in the tpl file.

Thanks. Don't think my SQL is strong enough to manage that. I'll have to live with it as it is.

Thanks again,
