  My blog uses the Big Brother theme. Does anyone know whether it is possible to embed a portfolio so that the thumbnails appear on the page rather than links?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks for those links, galois.

  msfoster0194 – I just wanted to let you know that you could also use the portfolio shortcode to display a portfolio on your site:

  Portfolio Shortcode

  It would probably give your users a better experience on various devices, instead of relying on a PDF embed which may not look great at all sizes, and in all browsers. You can learn more about portfolios on WordPress.com here:

  Create a Portfolio Website

  It’s a handy feature, available in any theme. If you have any questions about it, just let me know.
