Hello all,

I know this should be an html/tables issues, but I've found it to be more difficult to approach than just that. Whenever someone posts a story, they just right under one another.

I have a preview of each of the latest topics on my home page and wanted to set it up differently.

Story 1 Story 2 Story 3
Story 4 Story 5 Story 6

instead of the common blog

Story 1
Story 2
Story 3
Story 4
Story 5
Story 6

Will Geeklog allow me to do this? Can anyone tell him where to being? Thank you.

This should be possible, but will probably require a lot of changes. The best thing to do would be to look at index.php, COM_article(), and the theming guide.

One concern I have is for screen real estate. It's going to be difficult to have 3 stories displayed on the same horizontal axis, especially if you have both left and right blocks enabled. Forget about it working on anyone using an 800x600 resolution.

If you get this to work or make any headway, I'm sure a lot of people would be interested to see it.

Thank you for the headstart. I'm planning on disabling both left and right blocks and taking out what I require. The 3 horizontal stories will only be previews and will be a small square, so to speak.

Thanks again and I'll post something once its figured out.
