      Well here is my late night work-around.

      The code I kept finding in tutorials talked about “query-posts” and that is not used in this portfolio.

      Then I looked at tons of plugins.

      I decided to use Post Types Order for my solution ONLY because I may not have more than 2 posts each month.

      So, whenever I publish a post I use the plugin to alphabetize the posts by title. That makes them show up alphabetized on the portfolo pages.

      But I still want the latest posts to show up in on the home page. So, I created a “Featured Post” category and put my last 3 posts also in the featured post category. Then I set my Featured Post widget to only show posts in the featured post category.

      And that works for me.

        Thanks!

        For anyone trying to add the styled more link on your home page, here is how I did it.

        Go to your style.css file. Search for “#content .portfolio .more-link {”

        Then copy that entire section.

        Find a place in the style.css file that works for you and paste the code. Then change the first line by deleting “.portfolio”

        Worked great for me and it makes the theme look great!

         

        #content .more-link {
        box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #000;
        -moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #000;
        -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #000;
        background: #4c5e6b;
        color: #fff;
        display: block;
        font-family: ‘Oswald’,arial,serif;
        font-size: 14px;
        line-height: 18px;
        margin: 10px 2px;
        padding: 4px 0;
        text-align: center;
        text-decoration: none;
        text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #333;
        width: 100px;
        }

          Wait.

          I still want the styled Read More on the home page featured posts. Since that is in a widget, now I need to figure out how to work with snippets inside of a widget if possible. Any ideas?

            LOL!

            I knew it was simple. That’s why I asked before I jumped into the code.

            On other sites I use the excerpt instead of content. So I just had to flip that switch to “Display Post Content.”

            Thanks for the quick response. Now I can move on to customizing the slider text.

              Is this the answer? I don’t want to try it if you have a simpler approach.
