   Hi, is there a way to output the category ID in the Archive template? This will need to be done outside the loop.

   For example: Uncategorized's category ID is 1. I want to display in the Acrhive template, when viewing the Uncategorized category something like...

   Category Number: 1

   Can someone help me with this?

   Cheers...

   Thanks.

   My php skills are a bit limited. How do I actually use:

   get_query_var('cat');

   to display the number on the page?

   <?php echo get_query_var('cat'); ?>

   on a category page, that will echo back the id

   is there a way that I can use get_query_var('cat'); to pass the current category ID to wp_list_cats in order to display only children of the current category?
