    I am looking to implement a front page similar to this site (http://eye-swoon.com/) using the No Side Bar child theme - specifically two things (not sure if both are possible).

    1) After the first post, I would like subsequent posts to appear in an even grid 3 posts wide (like Eye-Swoon if you scroll towards the bottom) instead of the current 2x2 with alternating widths

    2) Can I add another row of featured images under the first post in a 2x2 (like eye-swoon)? So the first post would be 100%, post 2 and 3 would be 50%, and post 4 and beyond would be 33%?

    Any ideas/suggestions are much appreciated!

    I managed to display the front-page entries in a 3x3 grid by changing .entry class width from 58% to 31.33% in the CSS (see below).

    New new issue is mobile responsiveness. On a mobile device, the posts displayed 1 across, but now they display 3 across and smooshed.

    Any ideas how to fix the mobile site (or any issues with the solution I found)?

    All help is greatly appreciated!

    
    .front-page .entry {
    	background-color: #eee;
    	float: left;
    	height: 400px;
    	margin-bottom: 2%;
    	margin-left: 1%;
    	margin-right: 1%;
    	position: relative;
    	width: 31.33%;
    }
    
    .front-page.first-page .entry:nth-of-type(2),
    .front-page.first-page .entry:nth-of-type(4n+1),
    .front-page.first-page .entry:nth-of-type(4n+2) {
    	width: 31.33%;
    }
    
    .front-page.paged .entry:nth-of-type(1),
    .front-page.paged .entry:nth-of-type(4n),
    .front-page.paged .entry:nth-of-type(4n+1) {
    	width: 31.33%;
    }
    
    .front-page.first-page .entry.first-featured {
    	height: 576px;
    	width: 98%;
    }

    Solved it, needed to edit the original .css and not the CSS Stylesheet Editor
