 * Hi I’ve installed the plugin and modified my colours to categories, but I cant
   work out which files I actually need to embed the [post-tiles] to get this to
   show up on the homepage, are you able to advise?

 * Saw that this was resolved but for other users who look here the short code needs
   to be placed in either a post or a page. However if your homepage is the blog
   page (WordPress Default) you will have to switch the homepage to be a page in
   your settings. And then find a theme that allows for a page to be displayed before
   the posts.
