I am using the De Po Masthead theme. I’ve created a “portfolio” page with a list of pdf files (linked to thumbnail images) with text under each describing the document. I would like to arrange this page in 2 columns instead of 1 to make the list of portfolio samples look better. is this possible?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please post the complete URL for the blog in question starting with http://

Then we can ascertain whether you are referring to
(1) a wordpress.COM free blog being free hosted by wordpress.COM
(2) or a free software install for self hosting obtained from wordpress.ORG
and provide a correct answer to your question.

Thanks for posting the URL now the next volunteer who comes along knows this is a question a wordpress.com blog. Do you know how to create HTML tables? If so a table may produce what you want.

Or you can use coding for two columns – see here:

Formatting text pt. 1: blank lines, alignment, wrap-around, two columns

Thank you – I just have one problem that I’m having trouble with. If you scroll down on the portfolio page (http://bethayer.wordpress.com/samples-2/) you see that the widgets are misplaced now. the last two widgets are supposed to be in the right column, as they are on all the other pages.

Any ideas how the html tables could have caused this?

Thanks!

It was a problem with unnecessary div elements in the post bod text.
I fixed your post – it should be ok now.
