 * Try looking for a theme rather than a plugin. They can provide a good starting
   point to customize around. A quick search found [VideographEX](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/videographex),
   which may be a good starting point for you.

 * They’re out there. I don’t have [the catalogue of all 1,193 themes](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/)
   memorized, but I know that they’re out there. Try a Google search. Just keep 
   in mind that you’re looking for a theme, not a plugin.

 * The theme that you just linked to is called Video Flick. It’s a premium WordPress
   theme and can be purchased from the site that you linked to for $75.

 * There is no plugin for that. It’s all about how the theme is laid out using template
   tags and CSS. The template tags tell the theme where to display the posts, and
   CSS tells it how to. See this section in the documents for several guides:

 * If you’d like to hire me as a consultant, I can do that for you. Otherwise, just
   spend some time to either read the documents or find a similar theme to dissect.
   If you’re making a business out of this, purchasing Video Flick for $75 either
   to customize or dissect may be a great investment.

 * 🙂 thx for support, i am actually learning about wordpress, as i said before 
   i am a web designer and now learning php from few months, so i was thinking maybe
   something is available by wordpress for this kind of stuff , means any sort of
   this code which make posts like that. and not in the mood/position to invest 
   something which i only wants to learn.

 * Not a problem. If you hunt around and look, I’m sure that you’ll find something
   similar to what you’re looking for. I have seen quite a few themes that display
   posts with images almost like a thumbnail gallery on the main page. Though this
   is not entirely what you’re looking for, you can tear apart the code to find 
   out how it’s displaying the posts.
 * I learned everything that I know about themes by finding ones similar to what
   I wanted, then I dissected them until I found out how they did it.
