 * Hi,
 * On my [site](http://www.burnoutaddict.me), I have a photo project, and so want
   a photoblogging theme (installed but not activated). But I only want this theme
   to be used on all “pages” relating to the [project](http://www.burnoutaddict.me/daily-project).
   So the category archive, and posts within the category.
 * I have found a few tutorials, but I’m hopeless, and got very confused as they
   ask for a category.php file, which neither themes have.
    If someone can help 
   me by either giving me clear instructions, or creating a plugin, I would greatly
   appreciate it.
 * Please don’t post links to other posts, as all the ones I found confused me.
