 * Hi Mike,
 * First and most important – this is a really great plugin!
    You solved almost 
   all my problems in a minutes 🙂 Thanks!
 * I’ve just integrated WP Tiles with [http://cookeat.pl](http://cookeat.pl) site,
   and animation effect on tiles loading seems to be … strange (long, breaking layout).
   What have I missed? Thanks in advance for your help.

 * Hi!
 * Nice how the tiles sit at the top of your site.
 * Do you mean the animation when the tiles are first loaded? This happens because
   the layout for the tiles is generated in javascript _after_ the page has loaded.
   Unfortunately, that’s part of how the plugin works. 2 solutions:
 * 1. Pre-set the container height using CSS.
    WP Tiles will override this height
   after rendering, so if the screen size demands a different height, things will
   still be fine. On normal screens this will make sure that your layout doesn’t‘
   slide down’. Add something like this to your stylesheet for this solution:
 *     ```
       .home .wp-tile-container {
           height: 214px;
       }
       ```
   
 * 2. Don’t use WP Tiles
    If you only want to show the tiles at the top of your 
   front page, WP Tiles may not be the most ideal solution – all the more because
   it won’t take a lot of effort to create the layout at the top of your page manually.
   This of course depends on the budget / time for your website and your coding 
   skills.
 * Not to discourage you from using my plugin of course 😉 You should probably play
   around with fix 1, and if you are staying with this layout perhaps in time replace
   it with a simple javascript-less solution.
 * Let me know if this answers your question!
 * Cheers,
    Mike

 * Hi Mike,
 * It answered, thanks for help.
 * The reason of slow animation/loading problem was a bit different, I’ve fixed 
   it a few hours after posting my question. Shame on me, but I’ve missed image 
   size option, thus large images have been loaded to tiles gallery. No matter how
   cool JS/CSS is, if I try to load 7 images, 2800 px width each, it would never
   look good :))))
 * Cheers,
