Susan, you've hit the bulls-eye for me again. Many, many thanks!
The two-column format that Erickson uses in the bottom two-thirds in the blog post you quote above:
http://www.billerickson.net/a-better-and-easier-grid-loop/
is just the kind of formatting effect that I would like to accomplish. I've installed his plugin and downloaded for study the accompanying explanatory material.
Richard_SMemberFor some reason the link didn't display. Please just copy and paste the following:
Richard_SMemberI doubt a link will help. It will merely show what I want to get away from, but I'll give it at the end of this post as an indulgence.
More importantly, please just reflect on the problem as described below, again.
My home page is content-sidebar, with the content being posts.
The posts are displayed the usual way, vertically in one column:
Most recent post
2nd most recent post
3rd most recent post
etc.I want the content area instead to consist of two columns:
[Left column]........................................[Right column]
Most recent post..................................3rd most recent post
2nd most recent post..........................4th most recent postI'd like to be able to do this without having to write much or any .php and .css.
Richard_SMemberJust an additional footnote: it turns out that when I activated my child theme (in this case, Dynamic Web Builder), my previous unnecessarily activated Genesis Framework (GF) was automatically deactivated.
When you stop to think about it, that makes perfect sense. Only one theme can be active at a time. If you activate a theme, any prior theme still activated will be deactivated. The reason developers are told to install but not activate GF is to avoid the developers mistakenly making modifying GF as though it were a full-fledged theme and thereby losing the modifications when there is a subsequent version update of GF.
Even though I mistakenly activated GF, I knew enough not to modify it but to instead wait until I had installed a proper child theme.
Richard_SMemberI appreciate everyone's quick responses. This is my first foray into StudioPress's software and forums, and I'm greatly heartened by the activity here. That said, Susan's comments above are the one's I had been most hoping to here, inasmuch as there don't seem to be any problems with my installation, it's just that blogger Amy's comments had me worried.
anitac: Dynamic Website Builder is a child theme for Genesis Framework, but it's from a different vendor than StudioPress, which is probably why you weren't familiar with it. (I'm still trying to figure out whether to stay with it, or go with Studio Press's "Prose" child theme instead!)
Thanks again, everybody!
Resolved!
