Hi, I am not sure if you are using the right category id.
It looks like what you want are the posts here: http://monicaacoleman.com/category/media/
http://monicaacoleman.com/?cat=9 to see what wordpress should be showing for that category id, 9. It links to the category the-beautiful-mind-blog/monicas-blog:
http://monicaacoleman.com/category/the-beautiful-mind-blog/monicas-blog/
Are those the posts that you want displayed in the grid? If so, you could try using cat=”9″.
If not, you should double check the category id by going to the admin menu, selecting posts, clicking on categories. Once the list of categories open up, click on the media category, and choose the edit option. Once the edit screen has opened up, highlight the link in the address bar and look for tag_ID=. The number following tag_ID will be the category id.
You can also try category_name=”media” If media is the category slug for the Media category. This does not always work for sub categories, so I would suggest making sure that you have the correct category id first.
