I didn't get the portfolio count trick

Totally lost me on that one. I didn't understand why we needed it?

Hi Ian,

Visually it's probably not noticeable but in Bootstrap a row is made up of 12 columns. Each portfolio item takes up 3 columns so in theory there should be only 4 per row.

Currently there are 8 portfolio items being added to 1 row (seen at 14:22 here). In order to correct this so they're displayed over 2 rows the count is used.

This then adds a closing row after every 4th portfolio item meaning the final result is 8 portfolio items displayed over 2 rows.

Tried to explain that the best I could so hope it helps make it a little clearer :)
