I need some help. I would like to make a custom taxonomy archive that shows a grid of the terms(categories) in the taxonomy. I know how to accomplish the grid portion, but I'm having trouble with the main function of displaying the terms. I feel like I've seen this done so many times, but not that I'm trying to accomplish it, I can't.

As an example, this page shows how I want the taxonomies to look - including title, featured image, post count of terms, etc.

Right now I can't even get the terms to show up as links to the posts within the term. And if I can accomplish that, how do I go about styling the pieces?

I would appreciate some guidance with this.
