 * how I can insert three columns? I have tried to modify the rows skeleton.css
 * `.container .four.columns { width: 220px; }`
 * `.container .four.columns { width: 300px; }`
 * but it always remains in two columns.

 * Do not try modifying the width on skeleton.css.
    Instead go to the loop.php file
   on your theme directory and change this line
 *     ```
       <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="post columns four <?php echo sampression_cat_slug(); ?> <?php if ( is_sticky() && is_home() ) { echo 'sticky corner-stamp'; } else { echo 'item'; } ?> ">
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="post column one-third <?php echo sampression_cat_slug(); ?> <?php if ( is_sticky() && is_home() ) { echo 'sticky corner-stamp'; } else { echo 'item'; } ?> ">
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps.

 * What’s the point of modifying the theme’s files like that when those modifications
   will just be erased when the theme updates?

 * Hi Andrew Nevins,
    If you are worried about that just make a child theme and 
   make modifications. Check this [link ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   to know about child themes on wordpress.

 * **[@dharmapoudel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dharmapoudel/)** – LOL –
   he certainly knows about child themes – the point is that you were advising someone
   to modify theme files without using a Child Theme. That’s not really helpful.
   If you want to help out that’s great – but help the OP to make changes in a way
   that won’t be lost when the theme is updated – explain how to use a Child Theme.

   sampression_cat_slug(); ?> <?php if ( is_sticky() && is_home() ) { echo 'sticky
   corner-stamp'; } else { echo 'item'; } ?> ">`

 * I was able to transform into two columns, changing skeleton.css. The problem 
   now is that the images on the home are blurred.
 * `.container .four.columns { width: 460px; }`
