 * Hello,
 * I’d like to add a function into my pages so that if the viewer is looking at 
   a category page, it will add the name of the category to the top of the page 
   header.
 * For example if the viewer is looking at this category page for ‘Episode Guide’:
   [http://www.sopranos.foochuck.com/category/episode-guide/](http://www.sopranos.foochuck.com/category/episode-guide/)
 * In the header of the page in an <h1> tag I’d like it to say, “Episode Guide”.
 * I’m just not sure what PHP markup I can use to test to see if it’s a category
   page the viewer is looking at rather than my ‘main index’ page – since they both
   run off the same .php file.
 * Thanks!
