I'm no expert, but I'll give it a try!

I like you idea to add the subs on the home page and
may implement it myself!

If you go to my page you'll see the example I'm about
to speak about. Please note, this page is far from
being ready for the public and some of the features
don't work yet, but you'll get the idea as the home
page is fully operational.

In the description of the categories and subcategories
I placed a link to an information page.
The link simple say "More Info"

Here are the two steps you need to follow:

1.
Place the following in the description box to list (2) subcategories:
Code:
<span class="descript2">
<a href="http://www.yourdomaine.com/main_category/sub_category1/">sub_category1</a>
<a href="http://www.yourdomaine.com/main_category/sub_category2/">sub_category2</a>
</span> - Then add a description if desired

Obviously you'll want to edit the code for your specific needs.

2.

Add the following code to your links.css file

Code:
/* This is for special category descriptions */
span.descript2 {
font-size: x-small;
color: #333333;
background: #FFFFFF;
font-family: "verdana", "arial", "geneva", sans-serif;
}

This will define the style called by the <span class="descript2"> TAG in the desription box.
Basically, the tag simply makes the name smaller.

Good luck!Smile
