While setting up my side bar for this site I wanted to easily list all
categories from all posts. Unfortunately, this is non-trivial from what I learned by
skimming the Octopress, Jekyll, and Liquid docs. Fortunately, there is an easy

This allows the category_links liquid filter to process the
site.categories hash. The line added to category_generator.rb file gets
the keys of site.categories which corresponds to the names of every
category.
