 * You’ve got 2 choices, 2 methods.
 * You can put Conditional Tags in your theme’s category.php. Basically your code
   will say something like “IF this is Category 3, then do this stuff….. IF this
   is category 4, then do this other stuff…”
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags)
 * OR you can make a custom Category Template for any special category. That is,
   like, a “category home page”,

 * This will work for sites that have a few static categories that can have certain
   values associated – but what if users create the categories that require custom
   fields?
 * In my case, every category is essentially a new blog for a different project,
   and I want a user to be able to select a NextGen gallery ID to be associated 
   with that category and every post within. I could do it with conditional tags–
   but then I’d have to edit the php every time someone creates a new category. 
   Any ideas?
