 * I need help getting my thumbnails, and also the post title, link to the permalink.
   The title are now unclickable, and the thumbnails are set to enlarge itself in
   a lightbox.
 * I make use of the Shaken Grid theme.
    Which is found here [http://shakenandstirredweb.com/331/introducing-our-first-free-wordpress-theme-shaken-grid](http://shakenandstirredweb.com/331/introducing-our-first-free-wordpress-theme-shaken-grid)
 * Can someone help me out on this one?
    To clear out; Im having a blog, the main
   page shows several boxes of posts. The posts contains some text and a thumbnail
   above it. The thumbnail needs to link to the full post. And the title has to 
   do the same.
 * Hope you can help me,
    Thanks in advance,

 * What you’ll need to do is edit loop.php (make a backup first!)
 * Line 24 reads:
 * `<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>`
 * This is what displays the title of a post.
 * Change this to:
 * `<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>`
 * and this will link the title of the post to the individual post page.
 * Post thumbnails are set to link to the large versions of the images, as per line
   18 of loop.php:
 * `<a href="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($thumbID); ?>" rel="gallery" title
   ="<?php the_title(); ?>">`
 * To change this to link to the individual post, change line 18 to:
 * `<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">`
 * These steps will also need to be repeated with loop-category.php and loop-archive.
   php to change the links on category and other archive pages.
 * Hope this helps!
