 * your theme info says it is based on Twenty Ten;
 * possibly look for loop.php of your theme;
 * look for a line with `<div class="post`… and some more code;
    edit this accordingly.
 * or possibly paste the full code of loop.php into a [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)
   and post the link to it here.
    someone might have look at it and might be able
   to make some useful suggestions.
 * and also try to contact who ever build that theme for you – this might be easier
   and faster.

 * close to the beginning of the code, see these lines:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( in_category('3') ) { ?>
                  <div class="post-cat-three">
        <?php } else { ?>
                  <div class="post">
        <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * define what you would like instead, and edit the code.
 * edit:
    the style.css does not seem to have any styles for `.post-cat-three` –
   therefore you could simplyfy the above code:
 *     ```
       <div class="post">
       ```

 * `in_category('3')`
 * Hmm when I delete this number , then all works fine with `.post` class.
    But 
   I want to know what this number “in my case 3” do? Is it the number of category?
   If it is how to know number of category?

 * yes – 3 is the category ID of your category ‘inspiration’ or so.
 * to find the category IDs of your categories, goto
    _**dashboard – posts – categories**_;
   and hover over the category names in the list, then look at the address bar at
   the bottom of the browser: it will show `........&tag_ID=3&.....` where 3 is 
   the category ID of the category where the mouse pointer hovers over.

 * Ok Thank You.
    I think this will be last question 😀 How to add more of categories.
   I tried:
 * >  <?php if ( in_category(‘3’) ) { ?>
   >  <div class=”post-cat-three”> <?php if (
   > in_category(‘4’) ) { ?> <div class=”post-cat-four”> <?php } else { ?> <div 
   > class=”post”> <?php } ?>
 * then I tried:
 * >  <?php if ( in_category(‘3’) ) { ?>
   >  <div class=”post-cat-three”> <?php **else**(
   > in_category(‘4’) ) { ?> <div class=”post-cat-four”> <?php } else { ?> <div 
   > class=”post”> <?php } ?>
 * It doesn’t work…
    How to add more categories with different class?
