David,

I was able to get things working (for the most part) how I wanted. Thanks for taking the time to offer general suggestions and guidance.

Dave,

I started a child theme but realized I don't really have the time to learn how to do that.

I was able to get the functionality I needed from the minimum theme and editing the minimum_grid_loop_helper function.

I set the features setting to 10. However, I know once I get past 10 I'll run into an issue with them being in grid on the bottom. Please check the site http://mikefromit.com and see if there is a way to get what I have with minimum into wintersong.

function minimum_grid_loop_helper() {

if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 10,
'feature_image_size' => 'featured',
'feature_image_class' => 'post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 0,
'grid_image_class' => 'alignnone',
'grid_content_limit' => 2000,
'more' => __( '[Read more]', 'minimum' ),
'cat' =>1,

) );
} else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}

}

I would still rather the comments show up after the person has clicked the title of the blog post.

I would just like the blog post from the main page to look "full" rather than "condensed".

I've started creating my own child theme to see if I can get the functionality I need.

If you have any more ideas please let me know!

David,

Thanks a lot for the suggestions and now I have more than one post showing which is great. However, I would like them to show up the same way as when you click on them. I want them to be full and in all their glory. It has been a long time since I got into the internals of wordpress but I think I might have to find and edit the genesis_loop or something like that. I can't remember. Does that sound feasible?

To avoid reposting (let me know if I should) I'm currently trying to do something similar. I have isolated the fact that I need to edit, configure, or remove the genisis_grid_loop. Let me explain what I am trying to achieve.

I would only like one post in its entirety to be shown on the home page at a given time. I don't need a grid loop but would like to keep the option open in the future. I've tried editing the grid_loop feature => 1 but then I have two posts still showing.

To be more specific, I would like the home page to look like the blog post page. I'm really trying to keep things 'minimal' I've already removed the featured image and subscribe button.
