  I’ve created a few parent categories and many sub-categories, but after adding the category widget, it only shows a long list of categories w/o hierarchy.
  Same results as a list and drop-down menu.

  Any suggestions on this?

  Thank you kindly.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  A little more info…

  I see the sub-categories are in the list, but without the indentation.

  As for the drop-down category widget, it just shows up as alphabetized (by category name).

  I’ll just choose a different theme. Too many issues with font colors not working with background.

  Thanks!

  I tried this
  I replaced this link http://en.wordpress.com/tag/august/ with this http://stephensng.wordpress.com/category/august/ manually by entering the address in the address box and it took me to the right category but if I should click on the Category on my page it will take me to this http://en.wordpress.com/tag/august/
  I have not tagged anything so I’m wondering why its taking me to the page.
  Thank you.

  Uppaway’s question referred to Structure; also posted and answerred here:
  http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/introduction-to-structure/#comment-3078

  @stephensng: Please search the forum before posting questions; your question has been answered many times. Categories and tags in your Category or Tag widget link to your posts; categories and tags in the post metadata link to the global tag pages. That’s the way all wp.com blogs work, it may be helpful to visitors looking for other blogs/posts on the same topic, and it’s good for your traffic.

  As for your last phrase, categories and tags are exactly the same thing: for search engines they’re all tags.
