 * Thanks, what I actually needed was a category template. I wanted to display a
   different view based on which category the pilgrim was browsing. I should have
   articulated myself better.
    For anyone interested:

 * FrankRichards, I am using 2.3.3 and I can see the write page option. Its actually
   a drop down option. I never used 2.1 so perhaps things have been moved around?
   
   As for the link I think what I am after might be more along the lines of index.
   php?page_id=4 The problem with this those is that comments are now also included
   on the page and I would like multiples posts accessible and not just the one.
 * chazbeaners please can you clarify your recommendation, it seems to suggest that
   because I have a template called “about” a URL called “about” is now also accessible??
   Is this how wordpress works ??
 * Cheers,
    Paul

   else?
