 * I am using this awesome plugin on my site’s homepage and setting it up in Widgets.
   
   When I activate show thumbnails,the posts display changes to a block format, 
   with each post having a border. While the original posts (without thumbnails)
   are displayed in a wide column of about 700 pixels on my homepage, the thumbnails
   activation causes the posts to be displayed in blocks which have a narrow column
   of about 200 pixels. [Screenshot 1 (Without Thumbnails)](http://i.imgur.com/6rUtgiQ.png)
   [Screenshot 2 (With Thumbnails)](http://i.imgur.com/nuiUFfS.png) How do I display
   thumbnails without affecting the rest of the display?

 * Also, instead of having the thumbnails appear above the post, can it have text
   wrapped around it?

 * Hello, I’m sorry not to be able to provide you with a prompt and detailed response
   but I’m currently working on a project which demands all of my attention.
 * However, the issue you’re experiencing can be fixed tweaking the default CSS 
   style. Network Latest Posts includes one parameter called “css_style” which allows
   you to include a custom CSS file to customize its appearance.
 * Here are two links where you will find the HTML structure for blocks and lists:
   [Blocks](https://gist.github.com/laelitenetwork/6040928) and [Lists](https://gist.github.com/laelitenetwork/6040897),
   also here is the link to the default CSS stylesheet: [nlp-defaultStyle.css](https://gist.github.com/laelitenetwork/6017167).
 * Just copy that file, tweak the classes to match your theme, save the customized
   file to your active WordPress theme folder (i.e: /wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/
   nlp-custom.css) then include in your Widget or Shortcode (if using widgets set
   the CSS Style to **nlp-custom**, please note there is no _**.css**_ at the end)
   and that is it.
 * Images in the stylesheet are styled like this:
    **Unordered Lists**
 *     ```
       .nlposts-ulist-container .nlposts-ulist-thumbnail-litem a > img {
           display: block;
           padding: 4px;
           line-height: 1;
           border: 1px solid #ddd;
           -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
           -moz-border-radius: 4px;
           border-radius: 4px;
           -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075);
           -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075);
           box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075);
           max-width: 100%;
           margin-left:auto;
           margin-right: auto;
       }
       ```

 * Hi Jose
    Thank you for your reply – better late than never! 🙂 As a non-techie
   and web developer, I have very little knowledge of how to put your reply to use
   for me. I tried uploading the css file are you directed, without changing the
   contents, but the result is the same. I shall engage someone at freelancer.com
   to help me resolve this quickly. Thanks again for your reply. I appreciate you
   taking the time to write such a detailed reply.
