    How do I make a page that will show a single category the same way my current homepage/blog displays?

    Here's my site:
    http://www.benjacobsen.com/

    when you click on a category the list looks like this:
    http://www.benjacobsen.com/category/bj-com/skiing-0910/

    but I want it to display in that same 7 post image matrix from the first link? How to I make a new category page that lists it that way?

    Thanks,
    Ben

    Backup your WordPress files first. See WordPress Backups.

    Then assuming your theme does NOT have a category.php then copy your index.php to category.php.

    If your theme does HAVE a category.php then figure out then copy index.php to category{???}.php. The ??? will be a slug or a category ID. See Template Hieararchy to determine that.

    I've tried that. I have a category.php, and it works. But the issue is I can't get it to display the way autofocus' home page does. It gets all weird....
