 * Hi Michael,
 * Thank you for your time it has been invaluable.
 * I have found the root of the problem and it is due to me ticking the category
   and the parent category tick boxes in the post edit page rather than just the
   base category. I am new to wordpress and the reason I did this is because if 
   I just tick the category I want, the interface visually changes and does not 
   show the relationship to its parents.
 * A note could be added to the codex stating that you should only tick the base
   category and not the base category and all the parent categories, and that heritage
   should be set up within the categories edit page to save any confusion. I say
   this because I have looked at a few wordpress blogs and it seems it is common.
 * I hope that helps you too kodap, here is a link showing how it functions correctly:

 * Thanks Michael,
 * <?php the_category(‘> ‘, ‘multiple’) ?>
 * That is outputting web development twice:
    Web Development> Micro Sites> Web 
   Development

 * You an see it is putting
 * micro sites, web development
 * Web development is the parent so I would like to output:
 * web development, micro sites
 * Am I totally misunderstanding how this is suppoesed to work?
