  Hi,
  I’m using Illustratr and getting stuck.
  My need is to blog (pictures and writing).
  I want to display them as the projects are displayed on illustratr theme in a tile display so people can see a snippet of each blog post and click through to it.
  Should i use a blog post or a project to do this?
  I’m trying to set up the projects and can’t get them to be visible (I want them on the home page)
  I’ve been through the illustratr instructions a few times.
  this is my page (https://needcrafters.wordpress.com/portfolio/

  Many, many thanks in advance!!

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

  Hi there!

  In order for your posts to show up on the page you linked, you’d need them to be portfolio projects. However, I would discourage you from using the portfolio projects for your blog posts. This can get hard to scale, and if you ever change themes you’re going to have trouble with this.

  You may be interested in some of our themes that offer grid templates:

  A few popular ones are:

  • Spun
  • Ubud
  • Pictorico
  • The Style
  • Nexus
  • Studio

  Let me know if I can help further!
