It has been requested by JD that I post the code I used to accomplish this parent / child relationship in ExpressionEngine templates. So… without further adieu… here’s the tutorial file. This is this first time I’ve shared code of sorts, so if I didn’t explain it well, please feel free to comment. I’ll do my best to help you out.
Enjoy!

A few months ago, we decided it was time for a redesign for Gadgetell. Ever since the redesign, I’ve been craving a good solution to show the child categories (second-level categories), but hadn’t found a good way to do so in ExpressionEngine - and haven’t really had time either. Well, over the past two nights, I’ve finally implemented child categories on Gadgetell, and am absolutely loving how they look and work. Take a look below - and on the site - and let me know if you have any suggestions.
I love being able to go from concept to production testing to production within a few hours. If you are trying to do a similar thing and need some help, let me know and I’ll send you the code.
