This should only be visible on the home page.</p> <p>- just under the home page, have the area divided into three columns [just as it is on the above URL], with each column being as follows: Category Title - line break, Category Image - line break, Category description - line break, followed by a thumbnail-title combo to three most recent articles in the same category. There will be two rows of these [I'm using 6 categories in my site.</p> <p>Any which filters should I apply to my child theme's functions.php?</p> <p>My knowledge in CSS and PHP coding is rather limited, though I would like to learn by doing, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! </p>
