 * Halo!
 * I’m new to WP (but not new to coding/php). I’m still wrapping my head around 
   how the whole system works and working with existing plugin/themes. The problem
   is sometimes I don’t even know what to google(like now)..
 * I’m using UserSubmittedPost(USP) and have achieved few things:
    -Filter their
   submit form to add some fields -Add meta to the submitted post, from that new
   field
 * The new field is a dropdown (Text,Image,Audio,Soundcloud,Youtube), and the custom
   field containing the embed code if SC or YT selected.
 * So these part is manageable. I can understand plugins(functionality) more than
   Theme(general flow of data and displaying them), it seems.
 * The last part is displaying the post based on the selected embed type in GRID.
   List these posts in grid, each grid embeds the posts.
 * Currently I just copied their shortcode and modified it, so the html generated
   will also include the necessary embeds.
 * Then I wanna grid this. I wanna just get a Theme that has grid and work from 
   there, so it’ll use the Theme’s styling. But most tutorials show grid/gallery
   with image thumbnails, some involves add_theme_support(but there’s no soundcloud
   for this param, right?).
 * I slapped the shortcode on the page’s text, but the html it gives has nothing
   to do with the current theme this way.
    Grid-ing involves some css, so I should
   find the grid layout in the Theme used and modify that? And… (this is the main
   question..) where would I find this in the theme? Or, what resource can I look
   into for something like this?
 * I have no problem learning how to write codes for this and that, but working 
   with existing theme requires understanding of how the theme is set up(and I assume
   not all theme creators put things the same places?).
 * Cheers!
