 * my topic might not make sense, but i’m sure visually it will.

 * on this category page, i’m hoping to have a grid of posts… 3×3. because they 
   are not all the same size, sometimes objects get caught on each other. i think
   a solution would be to break it into 3 rows: a div of 3, then a div of 3, then
   a div of 3. i’m not sure you can break up the loop like that, though.
 * another alternative that i would accept would be to have all the posts bunch 
   up completely, so there are not large white gaps in between.

 * solved it myself, and completely from scratch! i thought, “hey, if only there
   was a way to do something every 3 posts.” so i wrote this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $counterface = $counterface + 1;
       if ($counterface =="3") {
         ?> </div><div class="section"> <?php
         $counterface = 0;
       } else {
       }
        ?>
       ```
   
 * each time through the loop, $counterface gets upped by 1. when it hits 3, it 
   resets and opens and closes a div. hooray!
