* Hi!
I’d like to have posts in lines, rather than one column, let’s say like
a table 5×3 (something like this [http://figovina.tumblr.com/](http://figovina.tumblr.com/))
which function should i put into my loop? or should i do that within css? thanks

* Use CSS and float each of the post blocks left.

* Thank you, Esmi,
I’m sorry for probably a stupid question, but how do i designate
post id withing the loop? should i use some kind of plugin or there is a function
to it? I have thumbnails to represent posts, and right now the loop looks like
this:
* _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome).
Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
* so i guess i need id for thumbnails, right? to keep the structure
* again, i’m sorry, i’m new to all this, but i would really appreciate your help

* Why do you need to designate post id within the Loop? It’s not essential. All
you need is a post class so that every post is floated left.

* basically, it would be easier to visualise if you imagine a table in which each
cell is a post, right? and my homepage image will take 4 cells (two upper and
two lower) somewhere in the center of this table. and i dont want it to cover
my posts, that is why i thought knowing ids of posts would help me to situate
them wherever i want them to be altogether with homepage image.
though i understood
what you mean and am really thankful 🙂

* You could style on the post ids but that would mean having to adjust the CSS
every time you published a new post. Or outputting post id specific CSS via the`
` section of the page – which would be tricky.
* Four posts (with a computed overall width of 50%) floated left will align in
two columns of two.

* thank you Esmi!
However manual adjustment is somewhat difficult to maintain.
anyway, thank you again for sharing ideas 🙂

* ok, guys. been a while and i figured it out recently. maybe just in case someone
will need it, the code is:
* ```
```
* and so on and so forth.
where: numberposts=1 tells to display (1) post in a
block
* offset=1 tells to omit previous (1) post
* allows you to use thumbnail instead
of content and stuff… css is styled to your preferences 🙂
