Hi,

I have added the category component to my left column. This component appears on the main page only. It does not appear when viewing an article from inside a category, or when viewing an article from its permanent link. Why is this, and is there a way I can make this component always appear? The rest of my components appear no matter where I am within my blog.

Thanks.

That's actually the intended behavior of that component. This component will only appear when there are 'child' or sub categories. So if there are no sub categories, the component will not appear. This is an older component; the thinking in creating it this way was that the "bread crumbs" at the top of the page would show you how to go back up the trail, and the Category component would show you how to drill further down.

The Category Tree component has better functionality and is a more visual representation of the hierarchy of your blog. Try that one, I think it will be closer to what you are looking for.
