Left hand new categories

Hi
I would like to add multiple category boxes to the left hand side of the page.
I currently have the out of the box categories, manufacturers, popular tags and information.

What I would like to do is split my categories  and have a separate box for each

e.g
football
hockey
ski-ing
baseball

How can I accomplish this?

anyone?

the category list is populated dynamically out of the database -

a simple way to achieve what you want would be to remove the dynamic category list and simply hard code links to those categories into the masterpage ( or better, create a new module which you would then insert into the masterpage )

something like:

<div class="block block-category-navigation">
    <div class="title">
        <%=GetLocaleResourceString("Category.Categories")%>
    </div>
    <div class="clear"></div>
    <div class="listbox">
        <ul>
            <a href="http://www.yourstore.co.uk/category/1-football.aspx">football</a>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>
