I'm not 100% sure if this would work, but it is one possible approach. Paul Hi Kieran,

You could probably do this, with something some conditionals like
if (is_category('9')){
wp_list_bookmarks('category=21');
} else if (is_category('10')){
wp_list_bookmarks('category=24');
}
// etc

where ’9′ is your category about Dogs, and ’21′ is you category about types of dogs.
I’m not 100% sure if this would work, but it is one possible approach.

Paul

I am looking to show different categories in the side bar based on what category you select. So on my home page I might have the following categories on a side bar: Dogs Cats Rabbits Then if I click Dogs I get all posts tagged under that category but categories on the side bar also change to: Big Dogs Small Dogs Medium Dogs I know this isn't the type of behaviour Wordpress was made for. But is something like that possible. Or even can I show different widgets under different categories. Even taking your blogroll example, there are often a lot of things in the sidebar that don't need to be there when looking at an individual post. I would strip away a lot of things at a post level.
