 * I want to add a class to my css if a category is displayed but I can’t get it
   to work.
 * I added this to my header:
 * <?php if ( is_category(‘areas’)) { echo ‘ class=”myclass” ‘; } ?>>
 * I want to add this class to my stylesheet to any page in this category so It 
   changes the look of any page in that category. It isn’t working though.
 * Ive read through a lot of the codex and this is all I can figure to do
 * Any suggestions?
