    ok so im working on a custom theme for my blog and becasue I want each category to have its own style im using the get_the_category function. But when I use this all my post end up stacked on top of each other, you can see this here http://www.flickr.com/photos/21455233@N08/2449324526/, this is what I would like it to look like http://www.flickr.com/photos/21455233@N08/2447470364/. The code that im using is as follows:

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<body>

<div id="networkcontain">
 <div id="networkbar">

</div>
 </div>

  <div id="tphead">
    <a href="/"><h1>Cerebral Black Hole</h1></a>
  </div>

<div id="containertp">

<div id="contentleft">

<div class="tf_body">

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>			

<div class="post <?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat)

{

echo $cat->category_nicename;

}

?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<div class="meta"><?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_tags(__('Tags: '), ', ', ' — '); ?> <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?>

</div>

<div class="entryContent">

<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>

</div>

<div class="feedback">

<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Older Posts'), __('Newer Posts &raquo;')); ?>

</div>	

<?php get_footer(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div>

    Any help with this would be greatfully recieved as this kis driving me mad, and I cant progress.
