However, that would get really messy in your sidebar, even with the hide script. Take a look at my sitemap page: http://www.problogdesign.com/site-map/ The links on it are a bit of a mess and should be styled differently, but it's basically what you said. That page is made automatically for me by this plugin: http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/ Might find it useful! Hey Kathy,

A good learning experience for me I suspect so not time wasted. And then I found your site. :) Your script for managing groups of categories looks perfect! I've read through all the comments and visited the websites and am very impressed. Is there a script or workaround so I can have my posts as children with the categories as the parents? I really want exactly what you have done with Microsoft and Apple. My site is a work in progress. After ignoring it for 6 months I'm now back (yesterday) with a new theme and an upgrade to 2.7. I also need to probably relink everything on the front page but that's not a problem. Thanks, I hope this will work. Kathy Hi Michael,

This is excellent, just what I needed!Greetings from Nouk Hi Michael,The faint color was all the work of the original creator of the theme :DBut I like it too, it makes it look more distinctive instead of just green.I don’t think I need to put anything else in subcategories, since this script already takes over the function I had for the main categories anyway :)Thanks again, I was searching for a long time for a plugin, and never found anything that worked.

Well done). You can make the subcategories work with this if you want them to, but it's a little more work (You just need to take a good look at the HTML that WordPress is making, and style things accordingly). If I went through it in the post though, I think it would have just been over-complicating the process for most people. Sorry.<br> Hey Nouk,
