Layout for the body

  • I’ve spent some time getting my theme/template looking how I want and now I’m adding content. When using the ‘edit page’ function, word press displays an area to fill in content, using either wysiwyg, or html.

    Anything put in here, is displayed in the main ‘body’ of the page.

    In some cases, I’d like to be able to layout this area, rather than just adding rows of content. In the dark ages, this would have been done with a table, however If I’m to do this properly – with CSS – would I need to add more ‘div’s’ to this area? Say to build three columns? How would this be done?

  • you can still use tables within posts – at times they save a lot of work. You have to enter the coding by hand on the HTML tab unless you install the TinyMCE Advanced plugin

    which lets you add table creation buttons to the editor toolbars.

    Otherwise, the modern style is to use Div’s, assign them widths (perhaps percentage widths) and float them left. That you code by hand in the HTML tab.
