# [Plugin: Special Recent Posts] Column Formatting

 * This is my shortcode on a page:
 * [srp widget_title=”” widget_css_id=”english-teacher” widget_title_hide=”yes” 
   thumbnail_width=”200″ thumbnail_height=”200″ post_limit=”7″ post_content_type
   =”excerpt” post_order=”ASC” post_author_url=”no” post_category_link=”no” string_break
   =”” layout_mode=”multi_column” layout_num_cols=”3″]
 * For some reason, it’s still placing the posts vertically.. but I was hoping to
   go horizontally.. you can see it’s set to post ASC, so I want it to go like
 * [first post] [second post] [third post]
    [fourth post] [fifth post] [sixth post]
 * but it’s right now doing:
 * [first post]
 * [second post]
 * [third post]
 * so is there a better way to format it (and can it be used within the shortcode?)
   also.. the styling sucks because there is too much space between the thumbnail
   and the title and the date.. Thanks!
