 * Is there anyway, that you can make the catagory posts appear in a 3 or 4 column
   layout using the grid system? at the moment they just list vertically wasting
   a lot of space, I would like the post titles to be 3 or 4 columns accross?

 * Mmmm, not quite, but thanks anyway,
 * what I mean is, on other templates you have a custom-page.php that you can adapt
   to change a page layout, there is one of these in customizr which I use
 * there is no such file for a catagory layout?

 * Ok reading a bit more, can I use the index.php, copy it too another file call
   my-catagory.php and add my custom HTML in there? Then my catagory will use that
   page?

 * Could I copy index.php and paste into a new file called my-catagory.php? And 
   that will be used via the catagory slug? (Sorry for the repeat)

 * My understanding is that this might work. There’s only one way to find out: try
   it and let us know! 🙂

 * The answer is no 🙁 just tried it, it has no affect and will not pick up the 
   custom page… so frustrating this!

   name.php
