okay, I used the same idea with the stylesheet to set a background image depending on the category_ID:
<div class="post_tagline_<?php the_category_ID(); ?>">
This was posted on <?php the_date(); ?>
<?php $CatDesc=category_description(); echo $CatDesc; ?>
</div>
and it again worked only for the first post, and none of the others. so the problem is, why does it not work for the others? it seems to assume a value of 0 for no reason instead…
no, I’ve not seen that. the code is all my own. I guess that’s probably my problem!
