 * Hey everyone,
 * I want to add a class of span4 to my article posts but there is a <?php post_class();?
   > there and I dont know how to add my own class of span4 to it.
 * My code for the article section is:
    `<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?
   php post_class(); ?> class="span4">`
 * I didn’t think the above would work but gave it ago. Does anyone know how to 
   add span4 just strictly to my article posts?
 * Thanks!
    Megan

 * Try this instead:
 * `<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('span4'); ?>>`
