Trying to Create Inline-Block Display, no luck

    I am not having much luck customizing templates. I keep getting errors. I’m not a php expert, so I was hoping someone could help me achieve this effect.

    Right now, with the default template, the title appears above the image. I would like for the image to appear to the left of the title with the excerpt below that. An inline-block display of the image, title, and excerpt, if you will.

    I’ve tried putting the title in the excerpt div, giving the image its own div above the title, and a few other things but I can’t seem to get it right.

    Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks for responding, Allen!

    I’m using the Display Posts Shortcode Plugin on this page. As you can see, the post’s featured image appears on the left, and the headline and text are inline with it.

    I’m using RSS Multi Importer to display posts from another blog on this page, where the post title appears above the image instead of inline with it.

    I’d like to use both plugins on a single page, but I want all outputs to look the same for cohesiveness. I prefer the image to the left (Display Posts style)

    For the Display Posts Plugin, the output is in the same div, and then I use display:inline-block in the CSS to make it display the way it does (code below for reference).

    <div class="listing-item">
<a class="image"></a>
<a class="title"</a>
<span class="excerpt"><a class="more-link"</a></span>
</div>

    For the Multi Importer, the post title is in a different div than the excerpt. I think I need to put them all in the same div, but I can’t seem to customize the template correctly – I’m using the ‘Default’ template as the starting point.

    Any advice would be appreciated. I manage three sites with related content and RSS Multi Importer has been a great solution to my potential content management nightmare. I’d like to use it more, but I need to figure out how to style it.

    Thanks again!

    the page you indicated above is a dead page…..so I can’t see what you are looking for.
