 * If I’m in category Programming on my website, I want that page to display only
   Programming’s Children Categories…
 * Example:
 * Programming
    -C++ -Java -CSS
 * Home page will display Programming
 * Programming would display
    C++ Java CSS
 * How do I do this?

 * You could use [Category Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates)
   with something like:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (is_category( )) {
         $cat = get_query_var('cat');
           wp_list_categories ('child_of=' . $cat);
       }
       ?>
       ```
