   I need to edit my home.php. I need to know category IDs in order to do. Where can I find them?

   If your theme doesn't support IDs you can use a ID reveal plugin.

   When you're in the admin, hover over the edit link(or the title) for any of your categories and look at the address in your statusbar (that's the bar along the bottom of your browser window if you're unsure about what it is), you should see the category ID on the end of the URL..

   Is this the information you are looking for? If so either mouse over the category or click on it and read it in the address line of your browser.

   category/9-95-beatz/

   It's not ideal to hard-code ID's into your PHP code. I always prefer to reference them by name using the get_cat_id() function in WordPress.

   For example:
   $category_id = get_cat_id('$19.95 Beats');
