I favour the following strategy, others will doubtless have other
ideas: list just the main categories on the home page. List the
same exact ones on other pages but with the current category
expanded to include the sub categories. You can "expand" it
literally by them being listed underneath and indented a little
or more indirectly as a horizontal (even file-system-tab like)
across the content area.

Another strategy which I think is almost always a bit over the
top is to have a super menu that drops down, expands out, all
singing and dancing with everything as long as the user is
dextrous and patient and careful with a mouse ... You can do
these things with css or with javascript. You can do it so that
if it does not work right at least you have the fallback position
of the situation I describe in the previous paragraph. Which
brings me to a point. Implement the scheme I suggest in that
first paragraph and then think about further things later.
