So yeah, got upgraded to WordPress 1.2. Finally the hierarchical categories have a user-visible appearance.
Before I hack the template to bits, I’m going to see about getting the look and feel I want just through style sheets.
There are lots of other goodies to play with too.

I was able to use the previous index template without a hitch, so I didn’t hack it a lot. I’m still fiddling with CSS stuff. I think most of the hacks that I wrote previously I will actually be able to make plug-ins by the new architecture, which is good, IMHO - when I get around to it. My current template doesn’t have my category listing, but http://www.andrewsw.com/news/categories.php does and shows off the hierarchical-ness of my categories (there was support for hierarchical categories in the database structure previously, and I had downloaded an in-development edition of the administration interface for managing the hierarchical categories quite some time ago, and it worked fine for me, so I was hierarchically categorizing them, but the hierarchy wasn’t visible to anyone but me).
But sure, I’ll keep you informed - hopefully through the release of WordPress plugins.

I see you have a new style. Looks good! btw I haven’t been receiving RSS updates from your site for the past4-5 days, so I thought I’d check in to see what you’re up to.
Just saw the list of new features for Wordpress. Pretty impressive. I esp liked the hierarchical categorisation one. Let us know how you go…
