Then navigate to the Category.GroupTemplate page (which will create a new page) and edit that page to include:

Every time a category page is autocreated it will have the content you placed in the GroupTemplate. Each category page will display a linked list of pages in that category. This places the list in the body of the page rather than in the footer.
