Question about Masonry jQuery library

Has anyone used Masonry.js before? I have a project I am doing for someone else. The current layout has a grid of square images, culled from the latest posts. What I need to be able to do is insert a div of text into the middle of that.

No matter how many additional posts are added, that block of text needs to remain in the same position. Any ideas or experience with this particular challenge?

Not sure that it would work, but maybe you could do a modification of the corner stamp parameter to get it to display based in the middle instead of the side?

Hi Zac Gordon , they ended up going in a different direction. I just noticed your reply. I did look at that same example page, and maybe there is a way to get that to work, but I have o idea of how to get there. Thanks for your efforts!

Haha, good to hear they resolved the problem. What did you go with?

The person in charge of the project went with a different design, but if I had to solve the same problem again, it would have to be rewriting some code. I basically would have to insert the header inside the tiles with JavaScript or jQuery. I was actually happy that a different design was introduced.
