Do we get a prize for being the first to crack the 403 and find the “a”?

No I never hung around that place like I do here.

I’ve used every blog and CMS software there is and I must say you cannot beat WordPress for ease of use and customization. The only thing that even came close to WordPress for me was, oddly enough, it’s ancestor b2.

I don’t know about different themes but you can style individual categories. I’m assuming “Products” is a category. If so, using your current style sheet as a guide, create a new style sheet and upload it to your theme’s folder. For sake of simplicity let’s call it products.css

Next, look in header.php for the call to your theme’s style sheet. It will look something like …

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

We need to wrap a few lines of code around it as such …

<?php if ( is_category('X') ) { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/products.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<?php } else { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<?php } ?>

… where X is the numerical ID of the particular category you’re styling. What this says is if we are on category page X then use products.css else use the regular style.css

Note: this will only style the category page that contain the list of posts for that particular category. If you click on a title you will be taken to the individual post page where the normal styling will be applied simply because we are now using a different page template. If you want to know how to style the individual posts from category X on single.php let me know.

If you want I uploaded a fresh copy of that theme’s style sheet to my site. I changed the link post link colours and you can find them at the very bottom of the style sheet under /* EXTRA STYLES */

You can use that as a starting point. The style sheet is here.

Edit: Scratch the above. My permissions are too tight. You can get the style sheet from this pastebin I just uploaded it to.

Scott, re-read my post right above your last one. 🙂

Edit: I’m playing with your theme as we speak on a local install. Here are 2 screen shots – the first one with a different link colour for posts and the second one with a different hover colour for posts.

First | Second

These are the declarations I used for the above screen shots…

.entry a{color:#2255AA;text-decoration:none;}
.entry a:hover{color:#CC0000;text-decoration:none;}

You don’t need a plugin. The template tag wp_list_authors already does this. There are several arguments that can be passed to that function, post counts being one of them.
