  Hi,

  I am working with the the Visual Theme and am trying to make it look like the one in the demo.

  I would like to add photos in a portfolio grid layout but have no idea how to do that.

  Thanks so much for your help! :)

  Hi, there’s nothing special, simply write posts and they will appear on the front page. The good thing is that this theme uses the first image from the post, so you don’t nedd to upload featured image. But if you want you can :) Also the theme adds youtube videos, not showing empty space as many similar themes.

  Really? So if I just write, it will appear like a grid in the demo?

  I didn’t know that and I will try that first thing. I guess I was making it harder than it was. :)

  Thanks for taking the time to write me! Have a great day! :)

  Looks like you already got some good advice from metal666blade!

  I also wanted to pass along the theme’s showcase page in case the setup information there helps:

  If you want to add portfolio projects in addition to regular blog posts, you can look at the guide here as well:
