   First of all visit my blog :- http://techdx69.com

   Then you can see, that there are a list of categories under "Personal". Right?

   Then, the thing I want is, some of the categories like,
   - Personal Lifestyles
   - Personal GFX Designs

   to appear on "Personal"

   And I need some other categories, to appear on another thing like "Personal" but with a different name below.

   In short,

   I want something which basically looks somehow like this:-

   Personal
   ..........................
   Personal GFX Designs
   Persona Lifestyles

   Mobiles Related Stuff
   .........................
   N-GAGE 2.0 Games
   Tips and tricks of mobiles

   Poetry
   ........................
   Mysterious Experiences(Poem/Quote)

   Some sort of thing like that, is there anyone who can help me, as the only thing i can do is one category like Personal.. I can't make more than one thing showing on the sidebar.

   Please help, thanks in advance.. Really appreciate it.. :)

   Create category Personal.

   Create category Personal GFX Designs, and make Personal be the parent category

   Create category Personal Lifestyles, and make Personal be the parent category

   Then make sure your use of the template tag, wp_list_categories(), uses the hierarchical=1 argument.

   Note about 'child' categories:
   By WordPress standards, ANY category that has been designated a Parent category is not meant to be checked in the category hierarchy when writing posts. Meaning, only the latest generation category should be checked. Think of it like this, only the youngest generation gets the action.

   It's okay to have multiple categories assigned a post, as long as the other categories are not designated as parents.

   Yeah I kinda get your point, but still, right after I've made both Personal GFX Designs and Personal Lifestyles, their parent category as Personal.

   I don't seem to get it in this way:-

   Personal
   ..........................
   Personal GFX Designs
   Persona Lifestyles

   Mobiles Related Stuff
   .........................
   N-GAGE 2.0 Games
   Tips and tricks of mobiles

   -------

   I mean thats exactly how I want it to show on the sidebar. So are there any ways I can do so, which can make it appear as shown above?

   I can reiterate:
   Then make sure your use of the template tag, wp_list_categories(), uses the hierarchical=1 argument.
