   You'll need to use conditional tags.

   Thank you jeremy. Could you give me an example of the modified code for say two categories? I'm assuming this would be going in the header template. Thanks again.

   <?php if ( is_category(5) ) { ;?>
   <div id="headercat5">
   <?php } elseif ( is_category(6) ){ ;?>
   <dif id="headercat6">
   <?php } else { ;?>
   <div id="defaultheader">
   <?php } ;?>
   other stuff
   </div>

   Then just add the new ids to your style.css with the new background image.

   Great, thank you, I'll see if I can make it work. Are these tags also available for pages as well? Thanks again.

   Yes on that same link just scroll up a little for the page conditional tags.

   I found this post when looking for how to insert an image on the page (not changing the header), depending on the category. I ended up reading about conditions and came up with this:

   <?php if ( is_category(Baseball) ) { ;?>
   <?
   echo '<img src="baseball image location here" width="100" height="100">';
   ?>
   <?php } elseif ( is_category(Football) ){ ;?>
   <?
   echo '<img src="football image location here" width="100" height="100">';
   ?>
   <?php } elseif ( is_category(dance_team) ){ ;?>
   <?
   echo '<img src="/dance teamimage location here" width="100" height="100" align="left">';
   ?>
   <?php } else { ;?>

   <?php } ;?>

   The only trouble I had was one category named "Dance Team". It didn't like the space, so I used the category slug "dance_team" instead.

   Maybe this will help someone else.
