    it worked!!!
    i changed (is_category(‘tweets’)) into (in_category(‘tweets’)) and it worked.

    Many thanks Roger and sorry for troubling you so much… very pleased.

    The only files I have are:

    footer.php
    header.php
    index.php
    searchform.php

    and of course style.css.

    here is the code of the header.php file but I am not sure if this is causing the problem. Do i need to create a home.php file to get this working?

    What I don’t understand is why isn’t it applying to the home page and it does to the category page … hmmm..

    header.php:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title><?php wp_title(); if (function_exists('is_tag') and is_tag()) { ?>Tag Archive for <?php echo $tag; } if (is_archive()) { ?> archive<?php } elseif (is_search()) { ?> Search for <?php echo $s; } if ( !(is_404()) and (is_search()) or (is_single()) or (is_page()) or (function_exists('is_tag') and is_tag()) or (is_archive()) ) { ?> at <?php } ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats please -->

<meta name="copyright" content="Copyright <?php wp_title(''); ?>" /> 

<!--style-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<ul id="search"><small>Search</small><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</ul><!--end search-->
<div id="main">

<ul id="nav">
<li <?php if( (is_home()) or (is_single()) or (is_archive()) ) {?>class="current_page_item"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">HOME</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul><!--end navigation-->

<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<h2><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h2>

<ul id="flickr">
<h9><?php get_flickrRSS(); ?></h9>
</ul>

    and this is the full index.php file:

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
	 <h3 class="storytitle<?php if (is_category('tweets')) {
           echo ' tweets';
     } ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
	<h4><p><?php _e("Tag:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time('F j, Y');??> at <?php the_time('G:i a');??></p></h4>

<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>

<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<h5><?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?></h5>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    It seems like it works, kind of .. but only when clicked to list all posts categorised “tweets”. For some reason it doesn’t do it on the front page ..

    hmmm…

    all done..but no change. I think its something to do with the stylesheet. I think i have something in there that overwrites all styles for links ..whenever there is a link, it appears white background and black text.

    a { text-decoration: none; color: #252525;
	background: #fff fixed 11% 11%;
	padding: 1px 10px;
	border-style: outset;
	border-width: 1px;
}
a:hover { color: #eee;
	background-color: #666;
	border-style: outset;
	border-width: 1px;
}

    Is it this?

    and here is the <h3> style

    h1, h1 a { margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; color: #444444;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	font-family: Helvetica;
}
h2 { margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; margin-right: 5px;
	font: 1em verdana;
}
h3 { margin-bottom: -9px; margin-top: 30px;
	border-top: 1px solid #a5a5a5;
}
h3.tweets {
   background: #34a0bb;
}
h4 { margin-bottom: -10px; margin-top: 10px;
	font-size: .5em;
	color: #666;
	text-transform: capitalize;
	left: 0;
	position: relative;
	float: right;
	bottom: 32px;
}

    Any ideas?
    Thanks Roger, much appreciated.

    Hi Roger,

    Here is the code:

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
	 <h3 class="storytitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
	<h4><p><?php _e("Tag:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time('F j, Y');??> at <?php the_time('G:i a');??></p></h4>

<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>

<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<h5><?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?></h5>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    I am sorry, i am probably not getting the basics..

    Thanks for reply Roger,

    Unfortunately I can’t seem to get it to work …if I just paste it into index.php and modify the category slugs it only duplicates the titles of posts. I’ve done the style but nothing. Sorry, I think I am missing the basics here…
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
