   Can I get rid of the text at the top of the page that says "Archive for the (name of category) category"? I tried deleting the line that looks like it should be the one in the archive.php file, but I guess I did it wrong... didn't work. Anyone know how? Thank you for your help!

   What theme are you using?

   Try removing:

   <?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
    	  <?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Archive for the ‘<?php single_cat_title(); ?>’ Category</h2>
    	  <?php /* If this is a tag archive */ } elseif( is_tag() ) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Posts Tagged ‘<?php single_tag_title(); ?>’</h2>
    	  <?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?></h2>
    	  <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('F, Y'); ?></h2>
    	  <?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('Y'); ?></h2>
   	  <?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Author Archive</h2>
    	  <?php /* If this is a paged archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Blog Archives</h2>
    	  <?php } ?>

   in archive.php

   That was it! Thank you, esmi. Before I removed too little and then too much, but your solution is just right :)

   Oh, do you know how I might be able to move the text up a bit to get rid of the extra space that's where this "archive for..." text used to come up? Thx!

   You'd need to edit the theme's stylesheet. Or you could try changing:

   <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

   to:

   <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

   which would give you slightly better SEO.
