 * This piece of code displays the category as text… but I’d like it to display 
   as a link to that category… any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Pete

 *     ```
       <?php
       foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
       if (cat_is_ancestor_of(40, $childcat)) {
       echo $childcat->cat_name;
       }}
       ?>
       ```
