Hi everyone and thank you for this beautiful theme (propulsion) :)

I'd like to show blog post snippets on my homepage, I've notice that it's pretty easy doing this with portfolio items, but adding the blog element on Template Builder means adding the whole blog page .
Since my hp is built through Template Builder I don't know which file I can edit...(I'm not a developer but I can have a try).
Or maybe there's a plugin that can help?
On each snippet I'd like to show title, few lines of the post and a thumbnail, is it possible to associate an image to a blog category so it could be pretty automatic?

here's the site http://www.cristinamariani-art.com/test/cascinaoro/
Hope my requests are clear :)
Thank you!

Hi Crisse,

Well, I've a partial solution as it will work in everything except IE8, though maybe in IE9.

If you remove the clear from what you've got for the post entry css and then add a padding right that will give you columns. Then you need to have the last element have no padding so that they all fit snuggly.

The final css in your custom.css will be:
```
#top.home div.template-dynamic-frontpage div.content.units.nine.alpha div.post-entry {
width: 30%;
clear: none;
padding-right: 46px;
}

#top.home div.template-dynamic-frontpage div.content.units.nine.alpha div.post-entry:nth-last-child(1) {
padding-right: 0px;
}
```
Adjust as needed, but I believe that *should* do the trick.

Regards,

Devin
