 * Hi!
 * I have now managed to make a categorys posts look different when you click the
   category in the sidebar. But on the frontpage the posts still looks like all 
   the other ones.
 * So basically I have managed to customize how the posts are looking on the categorys
   page, but on the frontpage they don’t show that way.
 * Is there a way to make them? 🙂
    ** Please help!

 * Try editing your theme’s index.php template file.

 * Not like that. But on the front page where all the posts are showing (on the 
   blog).
 * I want the posts that belongs to one category to have a different look than the
   other ones. How do I do this?

 * Thanks so much, that really helped. But it doesn’t solve my whole problem.
 * Now I can change the font sizes, colors and everything. But for example if I 
   want to remove the title of the post or just remove or add things to the posts
   within that category on the font page. How do I do this? I can’t seem to find
   out how :-/
 * Example: [http://www.petterstordalen.no/](http://www.petterstordalen.no/)
 * Check out his posts and tweets. The difference. I manage to get my tweets as 
   posts automatically, but they look like all other posts.
 * **Please help someone ! 🙂**

 * I still can’t figure it out :-/
    I manage to change the CSS of the post. But 
   not the post itself. I manage to change all the posts on the frontpage, but not
   sertain ones within one category.

 * I hope is not too late.
 * Dirty solution:
 * Create multiple php files for each post:
    single-post-book.php single-post-shoe.
   php single-post-default.php (this can have any name – shoe.php – doesn’t matter)
 * After that delete content in single.php and write something like this
 * `<?php if (in_category('books')) { include ('single-post-book.php'); } elseif(
   in_category('shoes')) { include ('single-post-shoe.php'); } else {include ('single-
   post-default.php');}`
