 * Hello there,
    I’m new to this forum. I am trying to add different banners for
   each category. How do I do this?
 * Please note: I don’t have an ‘archive.php’ or ‘category.php’ in my theme.
 * Please tell me step by step instructions on how to add different banners for 
   each category. So far the tutorials from WordPress sections have been very vague.
 * Thank you!

 * what theme are you using?
 * where do you want to put the banner? –
    if in the header region, you could programm
   it into header.php with conditional tags: ` if (is_category (‘2’)) { your banner
   code for cat 2 } elseif (is_category (‘9’)) { your banner code for cat 9 } else{
   code for all other categories } `
 * from [codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags):
 * > is_category(‘9’)
   >  When the archive page for Category 9 is being displayed. 
   > is_category(‘Stinky Cheeses’) When the archive page for the Category with Name“
   > Stinky Cheeses” is being displayed. is_category(‘blue-cheese’) When the archive
   > page for the Category with Category Slug “blue-cheese” is being displayed.
 * you could also create a category.php to contain your conditional tags where you
   want to display the banner.
