 * I remember seeing somewhere a plugin that would allow you to apply different 
   stylesheets for different categories/authors. But I dunno if that was for the
   single post view or not. What I’m looking for is a simple script (preferably 
   php) that would enclose the post in a set of div tags if it belonged to a certain
   category (e.g. “reminders”). I’d like to do this so that the reminder posts don’t
   take up nearly as much space as a regular post. I already tried doing an `if (
   $cat = 24)` but that just applied it to every post because $cat is used at the
   top of the template to tell it what categories to show.

   made by visitors.
    The thing you need is more along the lines of `if ($cat ==
   24)` (Not guaranteeing that will work, but it’s closer) What you have sets $cat
   to 24 and returns a true value because it’s managed to do it successfully. The
   double = compares the values….
