  Hi,

  The motif demo page says: “This page displays the featured images, titles and excerpts of its child pages, arranged in a grid.”

  http://motifdemo.wordpress.com/page-templates/grid-page/

  This means that the page that you created with the Grid page template is only the first step. Next, you need to create a separate page for each of the images that you want displayed in your grid. Each of these new pages should be a child of your grid page. Your Pages might looks something like this in the admin: (note the – character indicating child pages)

  

  Here’s an example of a post with a page called ‘Grid Page’ set as it’s parent.

  I’ve just started using Motif. There are no Page Template options. Is this a glitch?
