Recent Project layout problem

Hi, I cannot get the recent project to display on the home page correctly. I got the same initial error that Zac did whereby the duplicated grid caused all four projects to show up in a small grid on the page. I removed the duplicate grid in front-page.php but now all four projects are showing on the page at the same size they do on the work page. Some of them are slightly different heights too. I have tried everything I can think of to show only one project on the page but I cannot work out how to do it. Please can anyone help. Thanks. Mike

Having not gone through these PHP Videos, as I don't need them - I already know the ins and outs of PHP, it would be helpful to see your code on this and then someone else or I would be really able to help you track down where you've taken a bad step and help you to resolve your issues and understand were you've gone wrong to prevent it in the future.

You need to add: 'posts_per_page' => 1 to the recent projects array on front-page.php.

This code was not included when you copied the loop from work.php, was not addressed in the video, but is visible in the video when Zac goes back to front-page.php to delete the extra grid_6 div (11:34 in the video).
