If it means anything, prior to this email, I was installing new plugins for my blog. But I’ve always been installing new plugins and this is the first time I got this email.

I also did some 301 redirects in my .htaccess file prior.

Thanks!

So I’ve now customized categories, can I customize the articles in those categories?

Ok, I’ve got the category thing figured out. Thanks.

Now, how do I edit the homepage so that previews of articles from category-6 look different from previews of articles from the default categories? I’m talking about the homepage where the most recent articles are previewed.

for example: for category-6 articles, I want a date to appear right under the title, but not for other categories.

in which folder do I create the category-6.php file? I use customized templates

ok, thanks a lot for all your help

Thanks Saildude. What I was looking for was a way to customize different templates for different categories. I started a new thread and got help for it.

Batrachoid, I read and reread that part, but I still can’t figure out how to apply a category to a specific template. In the admin GUI, when I create a new category, there’s no option to apply a template to it.

Sure I can create “category-6.php” but where and how do I specify its use?

“So, if you want to make the Category whose ID number is 6 look different from what it is currently (and different from other Category pages), you would want to create a category-6.php file.”

I wasn’t aware that categories had ID numbers, only slugs.

Thanks, Numeeja. I think there’s a gap between what I know and what the article talks about.

So when I create a new category, how do I choose which template to apply to it? I don’t see that option…

Also, I want my “Recent Posts” to list entries from both blogs together in one list.

I guess another way of asking about this is “Can I format the article content differently for different categories?”

Thanks for your reply.

For option A, does this mean that in my Sidebar, under “Category” I could have list of categories from both blogs?

For example

Category
– Healthy Food
– Restaurant Reviews

Can I set it up so that the “Content” for Healthy Food articles to look different from the “Content” for Restaurant Reviews articles? By different, I mean like different font size, different format etc.

Thanks

Hey, I bookmarked your site cuz it’s got good tips that I know I will use. Thanks.

One question. I tried to access it again, but it’s currently under maintenance. How do you set it up so that visitors will see the maintenance message when the site is temporarily being worked on? Thanks.

Feedburner just adds an extra step. I don’t like it too much…

Actually I noticed something wrong with the feeds. It doesn’t include all the latest articles. It skips a few. Does anyone know why it does this?

gotcha! thanks.
