Wow, that is thorough and answers almost all of my other questions on
helpers as well. Thanks.
New view is:
<ul class="thumbnails">
{{for i,post in enumerate(posts):}}
{{if i==items_per_page: break}}
<li class="span6">
<div class="thumbnail">
<a href="{{=URL("view", args=post.id)}}">
<img src="{{=URL('static', 'content', 'thumbs',
args=post.image)}}" class="img-polaroid">
</a>
<div class="caption">
<h2>
<a href="{{=URL("view", args=post.id)}}">{{=post.title}}</a>
</h2>
<span class="muted">{{=XML(post.caption)}}</span>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
