The Header for the Index page of my Blog is "Orange County CA Real Estate" which is what I want it to be.... is there any way to make the Header for a Catagory to display somethng else? For example, I have a Catagory called "Laguna Niguel Real Estate"... can I have the Header for this Catagory read "Laguna Niguel Real Estate" instead of the current "Orange County CA. Real Estate" ???

It's possible to set category specific templates and layouts.

From the control panel, click Look & Feel. If you want to edit the components used in your layout, click Layout in the Options row. If you edit the layout here, you are editing the layout for the Main Page and all the categories which inherit its layout.

If you want to edit the layout only for a specific category, click through the Category Tree on the left side of the page. You should see text like "This category currently inherits components from its parent category."; click Customize if you want to customize the layout and make it particular to that category.

It's pretty much the same process for the Templates, just click Templates in the Options row and follow along in the same manner to modify a template for a specific category. In this way you can edit the CSS or style template only for a specific category.

For more advanced users familiar with HTML, you can do this dynamically by setting up your base template so that it is automatically displaying the category names so that you do not have to create category-specific layouts. See this thread for that technique.
