Hello

I am wondering if anyone can help.

I am wondering is there a way to create a post and link it to a specific page and on that page it shows a grid of all posts

I know I can link post to pages with a plugin but it shows all posts in a list but I ideally want it to show s thumb size picture with the heading underneath and then when you click it shows the post

For example if I create a post about chicken and you click recipes it shows you all the different categories if you click chicken then I want it to show the posts with tag chicken but in a gallery format

Hope that makes sense
