Add the template tag wp-list-categories to your sidebar or page as needed. Find instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

I am new to wordpress and actually had someone else set it up for me. I did find the code which I think will work at the above link but not sure wher it should be placed. i am trying to increase the side bar links from 3 to 5 and then add more if required. Just not sure where to find it. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

hawk007: do you have posts inside those categories? the categories won't show up if there's no post inside that category.
Backyardman: you can placed the tag anywhere.

I know how to set up a category - I want to have the categories listed along the side and when they click on it - they will be taken to that topic - how do I do that? Please I am really new to this so I need it in non technical language. Thanks for the help

Set up a categories widget in your sidebar, you can select in the widget options whether to display as a list or as a dropdown menu, make sure you have posts in those categories for them to show up.
