Category Archive

It’s a little bit hard to choose “best way”, when you give so few details describing your case.

There are two most common ways I can think of.

  1. Use category description. You can then print it out in category/archive template using category_description.

  2. Make custom page template which will display posts from given category (or whatever you want). You can read more on this here (Codex/Page Templates/A Page of Posts)

Most of the times first solution should be sufficient. I would use second solution only when you have complex descriptions (you have to use a lot of formatting and some custom fields).
