Setting up my own category page is much easier than I thought it would be now that I’ve found the Wordpress functions I need (query_pages and single_cat_title)! Now to look up PHP string concatenation because I seem to have forgotten the syntax.
If you’re doing any sort of custom work, query_pages is a huge help; it lets you filter the posts that Wordpress will display on a page. Here's the reference in the Wordpress Codex.

String concatenation is done by placing periods between each string or string variable you want to put together. The more you know!
