Blog grid for home page on Genesis Sample

[mbsvendsen]

Hi!

I would like to display a blog grid loop that pulls my latest blog posts at the bottom of my home page. Much like the current copyblogger.com site. I have looked at this tutorial from Studiopress, but I am not used to creating home.php files and do not know where to put it. http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/genesis-grid-loop/

Is there a way of creating such a blog grid via the functions.php file? If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!

I am using the Genesis Sample child theme.

Kind regards,
Martin Bonnevie-Svendsen

Hi William!

That is indeed useful. Unfortunately, the plugin does not solve my problem. I want to display the grid loop on my front page below other page content. This plugin appears to apply to blog and archive pages only.

Does anyone know of a way to insert a blog grid below other page content, such as via a widget?

You can try my PRO plugin "Extended Featured Content Widget". At first You need to create a widget area on your home page. This plugin is supporting the Custom Post Type also. So you can easily display the content from your CPT like portfolio,gallery,staff etc.
