  Hey! I was recommended to post here.

  I’m trying to create a blog with great visuals for the individual posts in a grid layout.

  I understand how the grid option works for the Sela theme, however, I want my new content to be created via POSTS and not pages as the built-in grid method works. The blog in question is sammiwrites.com or samanthabwrites.wordpress.com. Essentially when you hover over the dropdown and click “makeup” I want my posts of makeup reviews to appear in a grid with a photo.

  Sooooo, I see this other blog uses the Sela Theme [http://thepinkrosebakery.com/recipes/breads/] and has their posts in Grid format. I’d like to emulate that. It’s possible!

  If someone could help me in the CSS I’d be forever grateful! Even if you can just get me the framework to get me started. I’m such a CSS noob. :(

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

  I suspect that thepinkrosebakery.com uses tables to create rows of links to posts in a page. See the suggestions made by timethief in the topic Easy tables from word press.
