   Lets say my category is Flowers.

   So next to it I would like a drop down area that shows. Flowers - about
   planting
   care
   harvest.

   Is there anyone out there that can help me.. Please. I am a newbie to all of this.

   I have the same question. My blog is http://amandahbjones.wordpress.com.

   I've already made several categories be children of another category, but it doesn't show any differentiation in the display. Thanks if you can help!

   Until you assign a category and/or subcategory to a post and publish that post there is no data for the widget to display. Could that be your problem?

   If that's not the problem, then go to Appearance>Widgets, open the Categories widget, tick "Show hierarchy", Save.

   Hmm. I'm actually retroactively changing my categories. Well, thanks for the fast response! I also found this support page which seems most relevant; I'm about to try it out.

   Yes that's the link I posted above. I think you will find the TV link is a useful one as well.
