 * It’s OK for the thumbnail sizes, but how to create two differents sizes of posts?
   
   For information, I have no problem with CSS, I am just lost in the PHP 🙂
 * I guess I have to create 2 sorts of posts in my loop. I just want to create a
   very simple grid like that, for example : [ :
    The first one 100% wide, then 
   2 posts, then one, then 2, etc.
 * Here is my basic loop :
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       	<!-- article -->
       	<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   
       		<!-- post thumbnail -->
       		<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : // Check if thumbnail exists ?>
       			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
       				<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(120,120)); // Declare pixel size you need inside the array ?>
       			</a>
       		<?php endif; ?>
       		<!-- /post thumbnail -->
   
       		<!-- post title -->
       		<h2>
       			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
       		</h2>
       		<!-- /post title -->
   
       		<!-- post details -->
       		<span class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?></span>
       		<span class="author"><?php _e( 'Published by', 'html5blank' ); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span>
       		<span class="comments"><?php if (comments_open( get_the_ID() ) ) comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave your thoughts', 'html5blank' ), __( '1 Comment', 'html5blank' ), __( '% Comments', 'html5blank' )); ?></span>
       		<!-- /post details -->
   
       		<?php html5wp_excerpt('html5wp_index'); // Build your custom callback length in functions.php ?>
   
       		<?php edit_post_link(); ?>
   
       	</article>
       	<!-- /article -->
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       <?php else: ?>
   
       	<!-- article -->
       	<article>
       		<h2><?php _e( 'Sorry, nothing to display.', 'html5blank' ); ?></h2>
       	</article>
       	<!-- /article -->
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * And I don’t understand how to write a loop getting two sizes of posts, like the
   example below !
 * Thanks a lot for your help, my PHP comprehension is getting better thanks to 
   you.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your answer.
    In fact, I already have a function for 3 thumbnail
   sizes in the function.php file. But I don’t know how to use them in the loop,
   to get the first one bigger than the other.
 * Thanks a lot for your help,
 * Ben

 * Thank you very much, it works !
    Unfortunately, I just notice <?php $postclass
   = (‘regular’); ?> removes the category class for each post… There is no more 
   category because the post class is like “regular” or “featured”. And I used category
   classes to get style with CSS for each kind of post. (.category-news, videos,
   etc). PHP will kill me. Anyway, thanks a lot for your time & help !
