 * I have a current site I wrote myself in PHP a long time ago but am no longer 
   doing any web development. I like the current look and feel but need to get up
   to the 21st century so I liked your theme (child.) Can you point me in some direction
   of how I can replicate, not exactly, but somewhat in your child theme?
 * [My existing live site](http://joefisherstudio.com/)
 * Thanks so much,
    Joe

 * Hey Joe,
    Unfortunately I don’t have the time to help you with on that free support
   forums. If you need customization – you need to hire someone to help you with
   that.
 * However – by taking a look at your site I think you’re doing okay on the customization
   side already. If you have any specific questions – shoot, but I can’t give overall
   general help.
 * A piece of design advice though – don’t make the font so light. Color contrast
   in fonts is a vital part of any good design.

 * Hi Norris,
 * I totally understand and appreciate your response. Theming is not an issue for
   me although I am more familiar with Drupal, this was a long time ago.
 * My only issue is how to make a page with smaller thumbnails, a wall in a grid,
   say 8 x 8 thumbnails. I just need to know where to look, jQuery, CSS, plugin 
   or a theme function.
 * About the gray title, art is not a commercial venue so that needs to be backgrounded
   to only have the art. But I will make it darker as per your suggestion.
 * In any case, I wish you well with all your work,
 * Joe

 * Hi Joe, how did you get the dropdown options in your title pages (art works and
   bio) and sub-drop downs (under artworks, on paper, there are sub options like
   drawing, paranormal, etc)? I am trying to create categories and sub-categories
   that will appear as drop downs in my pages but unable to find the option…
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * I just noticed that you were referring to a WordPress site when I responded to
   your emailed question from the contact form. I made a child theme to “Twenty 
   Sixteen” so this is not appropriate for this forum. Minimalist Portfolio is truly
   great but my personal needs were specific. BTW, I wrongly said it was a child
   of Hamilton in my email.
 * I don’t have time to finesse the theme so alas I can’t publish it.
 * Just to help you though, the menu structure is well within the base Twenty Sixteen
   theme so you don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
 * Again, you should not be posting in this forum since it is no longer related 
   to the fine excellent work by Norris (@justnorris)
