   Either via category templates:

   See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

   Or you could also use the body_class function:

   Madjax,

   Do you know how I would tell wordpress the following:

   Display normal category layout, unless on certain category, eg: video, then deliver a different layout, eg: thumbnails only..

   This will be contained in the category loop, any examples would be great. I am not an expert php coder.

   Thank you!

   Use conditions like

   if (in_category('video')) :

   //put the code here for video according your design.

   else
   //put the code here according your design.
   endif;

   Many thanks Chinmoy!

   I'm not sure my code is correct - coul you just check my code, in particular the PHP syntax:

   // The Category Loop
   function thematic_category_loop() {
   		while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   	<?php if(in_category('17') ) : ?>
   
   		<!-- layout #1 --> 
   
   	<?php if( in_category( array( 19,20 ) ) : ?>
   
                  <!-- layout #2 -->
   
   	<?php else : ?>
   
                 <!-- default layout -->
   
   	<?php endif; ?>

   Many thanks,

   Jim C
