Posts page

In the live demo for this lovely theme, both the homepage and the featured work page have a dynamic feed of posts. I am trying to do something similar. My homepage is a static page and the posts page is the menu item ‘Work’. I would like to show one category of posts on my homepage. I assumed this was done in a block with the latest posts widget, but all that does is create text links to the posts. How do I create the same effect as the live demo, with effectively two posts pages with the grid of images etc? I inspected the live demo and can see that it is not the widget that has been used and the elements on both those pages are class=post.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
