You could either use the custom message to promote a product, or just give a “surprise” message to the reader or something similar.

What the hack does – Displays a custom styled text message either on main article page (single.php) , at the end of the post, that will appear only on selected categories.

The custom category message hack is illustrated with a detailed How-to tutorial by the folks at Vandelay design here.
