 * I am trying to have the Title of my posts be different based on the category 
   that they are filed under. I want to have all posts filed as a ‘link’ to be an
   h4 tag and all others be h1.
 * Basically if the category is noted as ‘links’ I want to display this:
 * `<h4><a href="<?php the_linked_list_link('url') ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   </h4>`
 * and if it is not I want to display this:
 * `<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link 
   to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>`
 * Any thoughts?
 * I am using the clean home theme with Jonathen Penn’s Linked List plugin.

 * try using `in_category('4')`
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Category_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Category_Page)
 *     ```
       <?php if( in_category('4') ) : ?>
       <h4>.....</h4>
       <?php else : ?>
       <h1>.....</h1>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * use it whereever you want to show the title in this different way (index.php,
   single.php )
