 * Hello WordPress Community,
 *  I’m trying to find a way to have my posts display inline instead of block, imagine
   3 or 4 thumbnails in a row, along with a tagline for each. The user will be able
   to add thumbnails to the page just by entering the information in a post. Is 
   this possible?
 * Imagine a shopping cart, without a shopping cart, if that helps. I have a good
   knowledge of html/css and a basic php knowledge, I’m just fairly new to creating
   wordpress themes.

 * i’d recommend looking for a theme that already does that and tweak it further.
   arras theme can do that kind of thing…

 * thanks a lot, that is a good idea, I’ll probably do that. but I’m curious as 
   to if this would be hard for me to do from scratch, I’ve been reading up on creating
   wordpress themes from scratch (never done this before, although I have modified
   themes in the past) and I think this is something I’m very capable of doing, 
   this was the only thing I was unsure about.
 * So if anyone knows about doing this from scratch I would appreciate it. I just
   don’t understand how you would tell the loop to place its content inside certain
   divs, and after that, then what? is there a way to make wordpress generate a 
   new divs to place posts inside? Maybe I’m just over thinking all of this and 
   there is a much simpler way of doing it.
 * Thank you wordpress community 🙂

 * It should be easy enough to – although it can get a little fiddly when you have
   to deal with varying post heights. Effectively, all you need to do is to apply
   a fixed with to each post container (say 25% for 4 columns) and then float the
   post container’s left.
