Displaying one category differently from all others in the WordPress loop
One of the categories of my blog is “My Bookmarks.” This is where I add the contents of my del.icio.us bookmarks to my blog to share with others. However, since these are not really “posts” for the blog, I set them apart using a different style within the WordPress loop. This is a tutorial of how to set that up.
First, one must understand “The Loop.” Here is how WordPress defines The Loop:
