   This is the first string I've needed in my category template - i want to alphabetize posts IF in category 7 or 3. This (my guess) is obviously not viable! Can anyone help me with this?

   <?php
   if (is_category('7'))
   {   $posts = query_posts($query_string .
       '&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=10')
   }   else
       if(is_category('3'))
       $posts = query_posts($query_string .
       '&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=10');
       if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   Probably a missing { after else... then somewhere closing it...

   But why don't you just make a category-7.php and a category-3.php template file - so you don't have to struggle with conditionals?

   ummmmm, cause I didn't think of it! I will do exactly that. I know your approach is to stay away from coding, I just have a hard time seeing the wordpress logic. Whereas, computer logic is intuitive, and it's a matter of syntax. (which I guess is quite a BIG matter!)

   :) thanks a ton, I'm going to make category templates now. :)

   When it comes about template... the "logic" is outlined here:
   Template_Hierarchy.
