   Hello All,

   I need to create a cateogory page to my companies video blog http://www.dssimonvlogviews.com that has the look and feel of the homepage. In other words, the header in the blue box has to be changed to a particular archive page. I would also like to get the archive cateogory page to not say "archive" at the top. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thanks so much!

   James

   You can create a template page called category.php with custom header to achieve this.

   Thanks. After I create this, where would this sit on the ftp?

   It should sit inside wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder/

   Is this where I put it after I have completed the php page or should I already have a cateogoy.php page there? I noticed a category php page in my wp-includes folder. Do I work on the customization from there? Or do I start from scratch? Thanks again!

   Do not touch anything under wp-includes, if there's a category.php inside wp-content folder, customize it. If not, you will have to create a new php page called category.php and put inside your theme folder inside wp-content folder.

   Hi James,

   Check out http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

   WordPress uses a template hierarchy and should pull your category template first.
