<div id="videos">
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=videos&posts_per_page=2');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
<div class="post <?php if ($counter == 1) { echo 'fl'; } else { echo 'fr'; $counter = 0; } ?>">
<div class="box-post-content">
<?php get_image('image',get_option('home_thumb_width'),get_option('home_thumb_height')); ?>
<h2><a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p><?php echo strip_tags(get_the_excerpt(), '<a><strong>'); ?></p>
</div>
<p><span class="continue"><a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read the full story</a></span></p>
<p class="posted">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?><span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link('Comments (0)', 'Comments (1)', 'Comments (%)'); ?></span></p>
</div><!--/post-->

i think i got it....i just added your css to the id post
edit your style.css file and search .post css. U will change somethings like
.post{
display: inline:
float: left;
width: 250px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
