 * Hello,
 * I remember seeing a post (somewhere) about being able to call a different header
   then the default one but I can’t find it. Anyone know how to do this?

 * I am guessing that you might want to include a different header for a particular
   category? If so, make a copy of your index.php file, rename it “category-xx.php”(
   where xx is the id of the category) and change
 * `<?php get_header(); ?>`
 * to
 * `<?php include('path-to-your-alternative-header'); ?>`
 * where “path-to-your-alternative-header” is, well, the path to your alternative
   header.
 * There may be other ways to do this, but this one works for me.
