 * I am at a bit of a loss. I’ve searched but can’t find an answer, so forgive me
   if this is a repeat.
 * I want to have a blue theme for category 4 for example, and a pink theme for 
   category 8. I have the themes uploaded, but can’t work out how to make the category
   point to the right theme. I can only seem to have one theme active at a time.
 * Please help

 * Usually something like that is done with [Category Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates).
   Also see [Template Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy).
