 * Hi,
 * I’m right now having quite a problem and I need help.
    We all know that most 
   themes are having a single.php file to display single posts, if not, then they
   have a index.php file to do that sometimes. My problem is that, I would like 
   to show a different single post style for a specific category.
 * Let’s say for example, all regular posts have the single post file shown as usual
   
   While I want posts from another category to for example, display advertisements
   or a specific text.
 * Help would be very much appreciated,
 * Thanks,
