I have been messing with some code for two days and have spent far to many hours trying to get it to work. I just can't get it working. Here is what I need to do.
I thought I could use categories for this and it would have worked perfectly but I can't get the code to work. The idea was to have a main categories. "Breakfast" "Lunch" "Dinner". Then under those categories, I would make posts but on the categories page, only the title of the post would show. You click the link and it would take you to the full post. My problem came in when I tried to put an image above each category to represent that category. Here is a picture done in html. This is exactly what I am trying to reproduce in WordPress

So for the lunch menu, an image then the name of the category and then each link underneath that is underlined would be the title of a post, click the link and it would take you to the full post. When trying to get the images, I could only get one image at a time and then it ended up posting the image for each title.
here is the link to my first attempt. I think what I need to do is abandon that attempt and try another method but I can't think of one. Do you have any suggestions?
posting? Please improve this question. – toscho♦ Sep 28 '12 at 0:29
