I have a question about the portfolio grid… I have reviewed your tuts on this matter and I wasn’t able to find a solution to my problem.

I’m wanting to create a portfolio category page that has all the portfolio types on it. Your tuts explain how to create a portfolio grid but… it shows everything under every type which creates a big mess considering I have multiple portfolios with 30-40 images per. On my portfolio page I would like to have a handsomely designed 9 item grid layout, with each item representing a portfolio. I want those images to link to there respective portfolios which then would contain the 30-40 images per.

I see in the page format selections of each page that there are options for portfolio grid, and a port folio category grid… but the portfolio cat grid doesn’t have an option for categories nor does the portfolio section in the dashboard allow for the choosing of categories it only has types…

How do I make all this work?
Whats the difference between categories and types within you theme?
Whats the difference between a portfolio grid and a portfolio category grid?
Why would you have the choice of a portfolio cat grid if you only use types in the theme?
