You might be better off looking at category templates.

Hi in fact I have looked at this before and spent quite a few hours with it. I found this information to be not quite explanatory enough for me.
It doesn’t explain how the category pages get picked up by index.php and it doesnt tell me if and where to call the new style sheets up for those categories.
thanks
Yeah I looked at that tutorial agaian, quite vaugue in some respects, for instance I have a category file in my wordpress instalation, but the category.php file I have is in wp-admin. Should I copy that file to my ‘theme’ folder?
Other than that I copied index.php and changed its name to category_01.php This appears fine in my category section of wordpress – that is I can select it from the drop-down in ‘edit categories’ no problem, but it doesnt seem to do anything at all!?
Thanks, hopefully you can tell me what Im doing wrong!
It doesn’t explain how the category pages get picked up by index.php
They’re ‘picked up’ if someone selects a category link – either in the list of categories for a given post or via a list of category links (wp_list-categories)
and it doesnt tell me if and where to call the new style sheets up for those categories.
The category templates use the same stylesheet as the rest of the theme.
Should I copy that file to my ‘theme’ folder?
No. Edit the category.php file in your theme if your category listing needs changing in some way.
Other than that I copied index.php and changed its name to category_01.php
Read the documentation again regarding naming category files.
