  On the Demo view of my theme, illustratr, there are “projects” (they look like boxes) on the homepage that lead to a post. How can I recreate that? I have the illustratr theme as well.

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

  Hi there!

  The front page of the Illustratr theme showcases your latest portfolio items. First, you’ll need to setup a portfolio as described here:

  Create a Portfolio Website

  Then, you can follow the instructions here to activate the Portfolio Page Template as your home page (under “Portfolio Page Template”):

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/illustratr/

  Can you give that a try?

  Thank you I got it to work, but now under my photography it’s posting twice. kershaaa.com .. Any idea how to fix that? I want it to too appear how it looks on the bottom side.

  Hi!

  Currently, I only see the projects on your Photography page appearing once:

  http://kershaaa.com/project-type/photography/

  Is that the page you’re referring to? It’s entirely possible that I’m misunderstanding. In that case, just point me to the right spot, and I’ll take a look!
