    Can anyone help me with the following problem. I’ve modeled my site after one that I found and really liked. I’m close, but I’m interested in organizing my posts vertically like he has here.

    I also want to add content in blocks like he has at the bottom of his page. Is this something I can do with a plugin or is this a CSS design issue?

    Just a thought, I am not sure if it’ll work, but you could add
    <li></li>
    tags within the loop around each post, set a width to it in your stylesheet and display inline so someting like
    <div class="content">
    <li>Post</li>
    <li>Post</li>
    <li>Post</li>
    </div>

    in your styleshet

    .content li {width: 150px; display: inline;}

    Also if you do decide to do it that way, you’re going to have to make your posts shorter and limit the number of them.

    or you could something like…

    .post {
    float: left;
    width: 200px;
    }

    something like that and some adjustment. And instead of the full content, you might want to display the excerpt instead so that the length can be controlled.

    Would that work? That might just float one thing to the left and the next one overlapping it or underneath of it. Might work in firefox but not sure about IE. Give it a try though if it works it is a much more simple solution!

    Dude, it’s just like arranging images in your photo gallery page. How’d you do it?

    Hrm I tried it and it works pretty well. I remember I tried that on my site but it didn’t work very well for me just because I had other floating parts in it. Like I had my post content float: left, then I also had a expandible menu which when expanded added a huge gap of white space to the page so I had to do something other than use float: left to try it.

    Anyways whatever works
