Article and Layout Question?

Rocamm · 2006-07-09 20:57:35

Hello !

I am trying to build a site that contains two different image feeds on the front page…

please take a look here:

How can I have two articles?

or would this be solved using categories..?

(I still don’t quite understand categories where can I find more information??)

HELP!

you guys have always been great troubleshooting in the past!

Please be more specific. What is exactly the end result you want to achieve (do you want 2 articles in 2 columns, so ’2 test’ would be next to ‘getting testy 3’?), and what is the code that you’re using in the page template now?

(I still don’t quite understand categories where can I find more information??)

Categories. Also good to read the entire article and maybe some of the links at the bottom.

Edit: I am guessing that you don’t have a limit attribute in your article tags. Try limit="1" for one article tag, and limit="1" offset="1" for the other.

That kind of worked,

how can you control the images more? ie. what exactly does that do..
some of them are getting bumped because I think I don’t have the CSS table exatly proper

here’s my code: FOR THE PAGES

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Try changing widths and margins in #sidebar-1 and #content. These divs are exactly as wide as your images, which is why they are getting ‘bumped’.
