Thanks for the suggestions.
What would it be called in order to achieve something like that basically what I am looking to do is create a full page portfolio that has the categories at the top I want t click the thumbnail images that will link to a custom 2 column post page.
I did figure out the news page I had to edit the index.php file and place the scripts into the necessary divs so it would call up the proper info
so i should customize home.php or index.php?
the problem im having with the child page even after the template has been specified is that it doesnt seem to be calling the css.
