Customize Wordpress Category Display

A few days back I was working on one of my projects on wordpress and got puzzled when I was willing to customize the default category display of wordpress.

I was willing to Include and Exclude some categories other things like displaying child categories of specific parent categories etc.

After an extesive search I found the reference on wordpress official site at the link: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

But another problem took over me after that: How to use custom php code in wordpress? Because the TEXT Widget in wordpress enables us to write custom HTML and Javascript but do not allow PHP code. Luckily I got this plugin, which allows us to write custom code in any widget:
