Need another version of blog.item.php

Hello,

I am customizing EasyBlog with my own theme. Our designer has mocked up a front page view and a category page view (see attached).

Within my theme folder, I have customized blog.item.php to replicate the front page layout. The featured items are set up 2 across with large images above the copy, with the regular posts in a listing at full-width below.

For the category view, these featured item should be shown full width, with a 2 column layout.

However, blog.item.php is the same file which is used for both. How can I create another similar page that will be used for the category listing page?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks
