    Thanks! For now, I ended up being able to use conditionals inserted at a few Genesis hooks to get me started (i.e. if you are apples, then here's the sidebar for apples).

    "Is there a conditional for choosing the template based on what the category id / slug is?" - that's what's throwing me. I want something that says

    If cat="apples", then be a category page that is accessed via domain.com/category/apples and use template #1. And template #1 will (in theory) figure out what do to based on category being "apples".

    I don't know how to tell Genesis: "Okay, the page we're rendering is domain.com/category/apples and the cat ID=5521. So, for this category, please don't go to the "category.php", and don't go to "category-apples.php", but go to "name-of=-layoutPattern-1.php" instead...

    ...but still be domain.com/category/apples.

    Anyway...

    ...thanks for the advice.
