I'm working on getting some writings up on my site for rewriting plr articles and was wanting to do a before and after post with a few writings.

So that leaves me with the question...How do you get split columns on wordpress so I can put a before and after side by side?

I think you have to use a plugin to insert tables into a blog post. Easier to just show one, and then the other next (below it).

You could use a table, but that could also break your theme and make a mess in the end. Maybe do a blockquote for each example, one below the other?

I simply entered the HTML for a table on this post:

It seems to be fine (unless it's a mess in some browsers and I just don't know it. :o)

It usually does come out just fine, but sometimes it borks the theme or looks weird in IE. Not that often though. I'm guilty of tabling all the time -lol-

I suppose you're right... safer to just post one under the other.

But then why not live dangerously and join Loretta and I as Rogue Bloggers Posting Tables :cool:

:D

Not to mention, I have on occasion screwed the whole thing up on my blog by editing to add new people and messing up the code. :eek:

ROFL! Rogue Bloggers :cool:

It's okay, Linda, I've broken the whole thing myself and not even known how I did it and then had to start all over.

Now that we've completely frightened the original poster, what did you end up doing with your quotes??

I use columns in mine. I downloaded the wp-column plugin. It is simple really. You can have two or even three columns. Once it is installed, you then insert this into your post in the html section(not the visual tab) and insert your content where needed.


Column 1 content goes here.


Column 2 content goes here.


I just have pictures on my page but you can take a look and get the idea.

Let me know how it goes.
