If you open up "archive.php", on line 41 is where the non-blog content is displayed.

Currently the #main container is setup to show only the category title, description and the pagination links. You can add the WordPress loop there and have it display the post title and link as you mentioned above.

For example (not tested)...

} else { //IF NOT BLOG CATEGORY...
if (have_posts()) {
    //NEW PART...
    while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
    <?php endwhile;
    //END NEW PART...

Would like the ability to create and customize some category templates but not sure where to begin with this theme.

I'm creating a site for an entire state and the main categories are the cities within that state. So if for example someone clicked on the category of Portland from a menu link or breadcrumb it would show the posts as pins on the map but also it would have the titles of the posts listed within the #main container like so:

Portland

• Mikes Burger Joint
• Joe's Car Wash
• Pets R Us
• Walmart
• Etc.

When someone clicked on the links of the businesses they would go to the single post map as normal

Any suggestions on where to begin would be appreciated
