   Hi,

   Does anyone know how to get you're posts from a specific category to display on a wordpress page in a gridview with thumbnails from each post?

   Anything similar to what this site has:

   http://hypebeast.com/features/

   Any help would be appreciated so much - whether its a plugin or CSS code!

   Thanks in advance!

   cassettewalkmans,

   hypebeast is using float:left to achieve this effect. Something similar to this:

   <div id="wrap">
    <div class="container">
     <img src="myimage.jpg>
    </div>
   
    <div class="container">
     <img src="myimage.jpg>
    </div>
   
    <div class="container">
     <img src="myimage.jpg>
    </div>
   </div>

   Followed up with CSS styles:

   #wrap {
      width: 480px;
      height: 100%;
      }
   
   .container {
      width: 150px;
      height: 200px
      margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
      float: left;
      }

   This is just an example so it may not be entirely accurate but this is the general idea.

   cassettewalkmans,

   Glad to help. Looks like the theme made it a lot easier, but at least you know how it works if something goes wrong.

   cassettewalkmans,

   You could dig through the WordPress Codex. It can be a little overwhelming though. It might be better to learn as you go and when a problem arises really dig into it.
