   HI guys,
   I am developping a website where pages are category pages: my menu links are category names.
   I want to display different content aspect depending on the category page where I am located. I know how to change sidebars (in the archive.php page) but I would like to find a way to control different <div id="content"> (I am using the default theme) depending on the category page.
   I read that I cannot duplicate archive.php page, I can make category-x.php pages, is it the solution for me ? If yes, what is the link with my display, or content ? I do not want to change numbers of posts or things like that but put for instance 3 colomns of content instead of one in the page, change width, background, etc (depending on category).
   Anyone who can help me ?

   ps ; wordpress rocks!

   Yes > Category_Templates

   If yes, what is the link with my display, or content ?

   Don't worry about that part - WP is smarter than you'd ever think. It knows exactly when to use a template file and you should never ever link directly to any template file!
   You just click on a category name/link - and WP is using the proper template file according to the Template_Hierarchy.

   Thank you moshu, I'll have a deeper look in that.
