Featured box in categories help

Hi, everyone. I am trying to figure out a way to make the featured box show 6 posts/icons per line on my category pages like they do on my first page. my website is here: http://jaybendt.com, and here’s a category page: http://jaybendt.com/category/illustration. I have tried EVERYTHING!

The only code I can seem to find that may be directly linked to the category display is this:

<?php if($x == 0) { ?>

        <div class="featured_box first">

        <?php } elseif($x == 2) { ?>

        <div class="featured_box last">

        <?php } else { ?>

        <div class="featured_box">

        <?php } ?>

While the code on the main page looks like this:

`
<?php if($x == 0) { ?>
<div class=”featured_box “>
<?php } elseif($x == 5) { ?>
<div class=”featured_box “>
<?php } else { ?>
<div class=”featured_box”>
<?php } ?>
`

I have tried everything. I have even tried using the main index snippet of code in the category page but nothing. Can someone help me figure out how to make it display the same?
