Thanks for the reply. I messed around a bit trying to make it work to no success. But somewhat of a work around for anyone looking to do 6 instead of 3:
In the Excerpt of the 3 featured content, you can put in some html to make it look like there is another row.
One below each. then use css to style to your liking.
Somewhat of a workaround until it is built in.
Thanks a lot for a great theme,
Sam
