I did customize the style from the Default theme. Is it possible to ignore header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php, and simply work with index.php?

I tried your code and the following list appeared:

• News
• Events
• Latest News
• Press Releases

I removed the first list item tag and my result was the same as before but without “News”.

*sigh*

Part One:

Each tab should have an off and on state. News, by default, will be on and therefore white. The other two tabs will be gray.

If wp_list_categories can set the News tab to current, then I can use CSS to give it a white tab background.

Part Two:

Within <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>, do I need to add, delete or edit any of the default code to tell WP that I only want to see entries under category “News” because the tab “Latest News” is active?

Totally follow you there. What I want to do is lead with “News” which has a white tab to indicate it’s selected. I thought I could somehow add an argument to <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&include=3,4,5' . 'exclude&title_li='); ?> but I’m not sure where to place current_category=1 in the tag. I tried include=3,4,5&current_category=1 but that didn’t seem to work.

This is the page in question, btw.

Thank you for the tip on wp_list_categories, buddha trance. I’m using the following code to define the category tabs:

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&include=3,4,5' . 'exclude&title_li='); ?>

The next step, after I apply CSS to each list item and create tabs, is to link each tab with its category. Is there a simple way to wrap an a tag around the categories?
