Horizontal Post Display on Static Home Page

Hello all, I hope you can help me with this.

I have a network of sites that I finally was able to configure to send any most recent post from any site on to the static home page I have created. The home page will be this:

the modern mixtape

If you scroll down, the sections called “theWork” is where I want to display the loop of recent posts. I currently have it set for 2 but I will ultimately have 3.

My question is that I would like to display them horizontally as opposed to the generic vertical loop. Can this be done?

My index.php section for this looks like this:

<div id="recentinfo">
					<div id="wordpress_loop">
						<?php
                            // Include WordPress
                            define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
                            require('https://themodernmixtape.com/wp-load.php');
                            query_posts('showposts=2');
                            ?>

						  	<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
                            <h2 class="post_title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
                            <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                            <p class="main_text"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more...</a></p>
                            <?php endwhile; ?>
					</div>
			</div>

My CSS for this looks like this:

.post_title {
	color:#009999;
	font-size:32px;
	font-family:Calibri;
	display: inline-table;
	text-align:center;
}

#wordpress_loop p {
	text-decoration:none;
	color:#fff;
	font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
	font-size:18px;
	text-align:center;
	padding-bottom:10px;
}

#wordpress_loop a {
	text-decoration:none;
	color:#009999;
	padding-bottom:10px;
}
