 * Is there a way to have a true post count on my site?
 * I’m using a thumbnail plugin, to make the front of my site just thumbnail posts
   which is wicked cool
    [http://niaolei.org.cn/wp-content/download/wp-thumbnails.zip](http://niaolei.org.cn/wp-content/download/wp-thumbnails.zip)
   [http://niaolei.org.cn/wp-thumbnails](http://niaolei.org.cn/wp-thumbnails) the
   whole site is in chinease, or jap not sure. but I can’t understand it, but farting
   around with the plug in after I installed it i got my site to look like a nice
   thumnail page. you click on the thumbnail, and the post will appear on the other
   page staying in the same tab/browser.
 * Now, my question to you people is if you check out the picture

 * I’d like to have what this other site has and would like to have the + next to
   the comment and the date to be displayed but I’m unsure how to do it.
 * But anyways This is what my site looks like after I did that plugin

 * If you want to play a little bit with the WordPress codex, here is my answer.
 * Post count can be obtained from `$wp_query->found_posts` global variable.
 * Post thumbnails can be generated using `the_post_thumbnail()` function. I’m using
   to generate thumbnail in other context here: [http://suhanto.net/yarpp-template-post-thumbnails/](http://suhanto.net/yarpp-template-post-thumbnails/).
 * To place the + sign and number of comment, you can edit the `index.php` template
   in your theme. You also can also check the following link to play around with
   comments count: [http://code.google.com/p/wp-basis-theme/](http://code.google.com/p/wp-basis-theme/).

 * Really? no what dude, I was trying to do thumbnails before but I found this plugin
   that generated it so i figured it would be easier. I still would like to see 
   a 4 box on each row, I think I might have to edit the .css of my theme right 
   and find out what the dimensions are?
