   I'm new to wordpress, I'm not a web designer so me experience is mostly html and css. (I know what I'm looking but don't know much about starting from scratch) I have a site up for a buddy of mine that wanted a wordpress site (which I thought it would be good practice and a way into wordpress)

   First (pretty soon after I started working on it) I realized that I bit off a little more then I can chew. Could not figure it out for the life of me, then I discovered Artisteer

   I was able to create a simple theme and upload it.

   added a bunch of widgets and plugins.... so far so good

   then I ran into this problem that I can't wrap my head around.... when I click the category/author links the page that loads doesn't load with the default template?

   this the page
   and these are the category and author pages

   I've tried other post on these forums but the advice (link) that was given leaves me more confused and frustrated...

   I feel that the problem lies in the category/author php files. but since I don't know or any php, I'm kinda at a dead end... can somebody help

   category.php code is this

   category
   --------------------

   <?php
   get_header(); ?>

   <div id="container">
   <div id="content" role="main">

   <h1 class="page-title"><?php
   printf( __( 'Category Archives: %s', 'twentyten' ), '<span>' . single_cat_title( '', false ) . '</span>' );
   ?></h1>
   <?php
   $category_description = category_description();
   if ( ! empty( $category_description ) )
   echo '<div class="archive-meta">' . $category_description . '</div>';

   get_template_part( 'loop', 'category' );
   ?>

   </div><!-- #content -->
   </div><!-- #container -->

   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   author
   -----------------
   <?php

   get_header(); ?>

   <div id="container">
   <div id="content" role="main">

   <?php
   if ( have_posts() )
   the_post();
   ?>

   <h1 class="page-title author"><?php printf( __( 'Author Archives: %s', 'twentyten' ), "<span class='vcard'>" . get_the_author() . "</span>" ); ?></h1>

   <?php

   if ( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ) : ?>
   <div id="entry-author-info">
   <div id="author-avatar">
   <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), apply_filters( 'twentyten_author_bio_avatar_size', 60 ) ); ?>
   </div><!-- #author-avatar -->
   <div id="author-description">
   <h2><?php printf( __( 'About %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ); ?></h2>
   <?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>
   </div><!-- #author-description -->
   </div><!-- #entry-author-info -->
   <?php endif; ?>

   <?php
   rewind_posts();

   get_template_part( 'loop', 'author' );
   ?>
   </div><!-- #content -->
   </div><!-- #container -->

   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   sorry about that, let me try again.

   like before with the other links

   I created the theme using Artisteer

   this is the site with the default template

   and this is the author page and category page

   this is my author.php file
   link

   and category.php file
   link

   sorry for the confusion.
