 * Hello,
 * Firstly, I’m blonde and fairly new to CSS so forgive me for my ignorance!
 * Basically, I want my layout to feature two columns for every post – with the 
   left column featuring the date, author image and category, and the right featuring
   the actual post itself.
 * Now, how would I go about doing this using div elements? I know how to do this
   using tables, but I would prefer to use solely div elements if that’s possible…?
   Also, using divs, how would the left column stay aligned with the right for every
   post?
 * I hope that makes sense, and I’m hoping someone will be kind enough to show me
   how to do this!
 * Thank youuuuuuuuu, Anna xxx

 * Something like this for your coding your php file:
 *     ```
       <div id="post-info">
         Date, Authour image etc goes in here
       </div>
       <div id="post-content">
         Put your post content here
       </div>
       <div style="clear: both;"></div>
       ```
   
 * and the CSS for this would be (assuming your page is 800px wide):
 *     ```
       #post-info {
         width: 280px;
         float: left;
         margin-right: 20px;
       }
       #post-content {
         width: 500px;
         float: left;
       }
       ```

 * This is the closest to a decent result i can get.
    I wanted to have 2 column 
   in a pageofpost template but it was impossible.
 * Then I tried the index
 * Can I add img max witdt inside this
 *     ```
       #post-info {
         width: 300px;
         float: left;
   
       }
       #post-content {
         width: 300px;
   
         float: left;
   
       }
       ```
   
 * and how can I make space between the columns?
