   On a custom category template, I've got it listing all sub-categories using get_category.
   What I need to add is to get content from a custom post type, in that same sub-category. Something like:

   - get sub-category (foo)
   - now, is there a post in category-content (a custom post type) in that same (sub)category (foo)?
   - show this sub category title, content from the custom post type, and link to the subcategory page
   - rinse and repeat for each sub-category

   Got it!

   Used this on a custom template for this (parent) category.

   I needed more info for a category than description allows. I set up a custom post type to hold the info each category needed, including special fields.

   It isn't long.
   

   <?php $args=array('category_name' => 'mycategoryname' , 'post_type' => 'mycustomposttypename',);
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
       <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       <?php  endwhile; }
   wp_reset_query(); ?>

   If you have trouble put the last ?> on it's own line.
