    Hi there,

    What would be the best way to go about setting up a page similar to this:

    http://www.theholisticingredient.com/blogs/wholesome-living

    It's almost like they're featured posts you'd have on a Home page but I need them on a blog page. Or would this require someone with a very decent knowledge of code?

    I'm using the Swank theme but I gather it wouldn't matter what genesis theme I'm using.

    Many thanks
    Lisa

    You could use a custom post type with taxonomies which are like categories for your CPT and then display them using a CPT archive grid layout.

    This would require PHP knowledge unless you used a theme like Executive Pro or took the code fro that theme and added it to Swank.

    Another option is to display your excerpts in a grid using CSS http://wpsites.net/web-design/archive-page-grid-style-columns-using-css/

    Thank you both. Kellylise, thanks for the link however I don't want them on the home page, I want them on the blog page.

    Hi Lisa,

    Using the tutorial that Brad gave to you, just replace .archive with body.home (which is the Blog page). Give that a try.
