Tips : 6 steps to a fancy custom taxonomy menu with term images

This tutorial will outline the steps to create and awesome looking taxonomy menu, using Imagecache, Taxonomy Image, Views, and some SQL. I will make this blog post the first one to be labeled ‘expert' in my skill level taxonomy, but that's really just there to look cool ;). I will explain the code step by step, and if afterwards, all 11 (!) lines of code make no sense at all, you can copy and paste the code.

  Prerequisites:  

* A vocabulary with some terms
* Imagecache
* Taxonomy Image
* Views
* Publipublic file system, this is needed for imagecache. However, there is an imagecache patch somewhere in the issue tracker that facilitates use with private file system. That's what this site uses.

* Taxonomy with hierarchy is supported but the menu won't visualize the nesting, if someone know how to do this please post in comments.
