Get the category name,permalink and description

1. This page shows how to add the Category Description: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/category_description

   It should have everything you need there, but for quick reference, the simplest way is:

   <?php echo category_description(); ?>
   

   (within the WordPress loop)

   EDIT
   Just realized since you’re combining this with wp_list_categories(), you’ll have to create a loop that goes through the categoriy lists and displays the title and the description.

   Try this WordPress support page: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/have-wp_list_categories-output-the-category-descpription

2. Solved:

       <?php 
           foreach(get_categories() as $category):
               echo $category->cat_name;
           echo category_description($category->cat_ID);
           endforeach;
       ?>
