Description
The Tiles Plugin organizes posts, portfolios, and galleries into dynamic Windows 8 Metro-style grids, with animated hover effects on each tile to reveal a title, description, or expanded image. Designed for those who need to display plenty of visual content with minimal scrolling (photographers, creative agencies, magazine sites, and blogs with a strong graphic component), it lets you configure tile sizes, colors, and transition animations directly from the dashboard, without editing CSS or JavaScript.
