PHP wprdpress help

i am in the middle of moving my blog to wordpress and i need some help listing subcategories like this:
Category1
-child 1
-child 2
-etc....

my blog is at www.theguitarresource.com (far from done)

this is my sidebar code. can you please tell me what to change:
<h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php
if (function_exists('wp_list_categories'))
{
wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=');
}
else
{
wp_list_cats('optioncount=1');
}
?>
</ul>
</li>

thanks!

 

I used a theme called TypoXP Reloaded on my blog earlier. It used to display sub categories automatically. You might want to download and check out its code.

 

I've been struiggling with my wordpress blog too it doesn't appear to have installed correctly. how did you set it up? from a default script or something else?

 

Showing child cats under main cats is the default behavior.

You could try adding &hierarchical=1 to the arguments.

 

Doesn't your webhost provide a cPanel? Usually it has a click-click installer for WordPress blog.

 

can you show me where exactly to ad this? thanks!

 

yes my cpanel has click installer, but its not working correctly after installation won't allow posts, I think maybe there is an error on the install so I'm going to reinstall. The admin haven't been able to fix so thats the next step I think
