"My guess is that it's creating the div's but you haven't provided any styling to those div's. Add this to the custom.css: .custom .column {float: left;} .custom #content-0 {width: 400px;} .custom #content-1 {width: 300px;}" - Bill Erickson

"Well I originally designed it with the plan that each column would have header text (an h4) describing it. The client then wanted some columns to have it and other columns to not, which is why I added the display:none. Even when you're hiding the h4, including a relevant description of the content is recommended for SEO purposes and screen readers. If I'm using display:none and have a title in the div, then I usually use \"column 2\" or \"right column\" as the h4 as it describes the content. This won't hurt SEO, as it's descriptive.

"Yes, this will allow you to do that. The code simply wraps your content in divs, so if you're content looked like this: lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Column title lorem ipsum dolor sit amet It would change it to: lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Column title lorem ipsum dolor sit amet You could then use CSS to do whatever you want with those two divs" - Bill Erickson

"You can just paste the function at the very bottom of custom_functions.php. If you haven't edited it before, you will paste it below this: <?php } (That brace is closing the custom_bookmark_links() function )." - Bill Erickson

"The way it's designed is to use 's as breaks between divs, so all the content before the first is in the first div, then and the rest of the content is in the next div (and continues for each ). With regards to the second request (not displaying the ), simply put this in your css: h4 {display:none;} That's what I'm doing for the client site I built this for, as not every column has a header." - Bill Erickson

"If you want to style them at a sitewide level, simply use the id or class of the div's. If you want to style them at a page level, add the page's slug as a class to a containing div (\"content\", \"wrapper\"...), then use them in combination: .[page slug] .[column] { [style] } .about .column1 {width: 500px; float left;} From iPhone --- Bill Erickson Wordpress Consultant http://www.billerickson.net" - Bill Erickson

"The teaser options apply to post listings on the homepage. The actual content in the teasers is in individual posts, and aggregated on one page. This solution is like adding a "teaser look" to single pages, except all the content is within that single page (so if you go to Pages > Edit, you can change all of it)." - Bill Erickson
