Are you having difficult styling category template files? According to Scribu, things are about to get much easier with WordPress 2.9.
But using category-{id}.php in practice is not that fun: firstly, you have to leave a comment in the theme file so that you know what it’s for. Secondly, you have to rename the file for each site that you use the theme on, because the category id isn’t constant.
Check out his post. If you can’t wait for WordPress 2.9, Scribu also gives you a block of code you can use in your themes functions.php file to achieve the same effect.
Thanks for the link. I didn’t know scribu.net. Looks… awesome.
This will be a nice feature, and as it turns out, I just posted about using category template pages…

@Peter Kahoun – Yeah, Scribu is pretty cool. He’s the same person who developed the Front End Editor plugin I reviewed here

@Adam W. Warner – Ahh yes. I’ve seen the link being passed around on Twitter. I’m glad someone finally wrote a post dealing with the category icons plugin. Is it still being developed? Last time I checked, it was pretty outdated.
Hey Jeffro,
That’s what I thought too, but it appears that development has picked up again. I hope it continues. It’s a pretty slick plugin with a lot of uses.
