"No one knows? Or is it not possible?"
But timethief had already given the answer in her Feb 9, 2011, 8:53 PM post above (point 3) - including the link to the Support doc that explains how to do it.

You can create Categories and subcategories and establish a hierarchy. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

I guess what I want is a mix of styles. I want to structure my posts as on a website.

I already created a custom menu that shows the categories.I allready knew it's possible to create a drop down menu using pages (http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/), but what I want to know is whether it can also show subcategories?

I don't think I want to go with pages. It's going to be a cooking blog, and I want to organize the many recepies that are going to be on there. If I use pages instead of blogs I can only have one per page. Or I have to put them on the same page. Don't wanna do that either bc then I won't be able to find everything back with the search engine.

Maybe I'm too demanding :) thanks loads!

Staff have provided this support documentation entry for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

What’s critical is to understand when creating a website structure is the following:

1. The differences between pages and posts
http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

2. The impact of choosing to restruture a blog to become page based
http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/05/12/better-blogging-at-wordpress-com-pages-and-posts/

3. We organize our posts by use of categories. There is only one dynamic page in a blog and we cannot post to more that one page. However, we can create the appearance that we have done that by setting up a custom menu and displaying Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation menu.

Any thoughts?

Right now I've just got menu buttons of the categories. I am using the Twenty Ten template.
