Instead of going throught the whole routine of creating multiple category template pages, why not just create an extra (header){or whatever you want to call it} file in links.def? I'm using the basic <%header%> tag to place different banners/images on certain pages (via the header input in the admin).
Maybe this is the easy way out, but it works great! Check it our in my (continually building) site

If you follow the directions from the image mods, all you have to do, if you want multiple header files, if give them in name in links.def....include the directives in a couple other files...add the tag in category.html....copy your adverts or affiliate code into the header box in admin (MAKE SURE YOU INCREASE THE DATA ENTRY LENGTH IN LINKS.DEF).....and voila!!! You've got categorized banners & image links!
Should work with SSI tags as well as html & image tags. I personally haven't check the SSI function, yet. Let me know if doesn't work.
If you don't know what files to change, post a reply and I'll find them & post them here.
