 * I would like to change a template for categories. The tile should be smaller,
   but all should show up. Where do I start there? Not new to programming just new
   to wp-customizing 🙂

 * use a tool such as Firebug [http://getfirebug.com/](http://getfirebug.com/) to
   identyfy which styles are formatting those elements you want to change.
 * the theme might be using `body_class()` [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class)
   which should make it easier to create catgory archive specific styles.
 * for any ‘physical’ changes to the output, edit category.php (if there is no category.
   php in the theme, create one from a copy of archive.php or index.php)
