 * I’m trying to do some styling and I’ve gotten part of it styled, but can’t get
   the last of it. I’m hoping someone can help. Also, I’m hoping perhaps there’s
   easier syntax than what I’m using.
 * My site is: [http://www.cinemasight.com](http://www.cinemasight.com)
 * Each category has a different byline style. I’ve gotten it to work both on the
   main page as well as the individual pages for each category. I cannot get it 
   to work on the individual posts themselves. Here’s a sample of the code I’m using:

 * So, .blog works on the main page while .archive works on the category page. I’m
   not sure what to use on the regular pages. Also, I couldn’t figure out how to
   apply to all the sub-categories without specifying them individually, so any 
   help in streamlining that would be appreciated.

 * I have figured out one of my issues. By changing it to #content in lieu of .blog
   and removing .archive, it seems to be styling them on every page just fine.
 * Now, I just need to figure out how to get it to reference all subcategories without
   having to reference them individually.
