       <div class="postarray">
       <a class="posttitle" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
       <p class="meta"> <?php the_time('jS F Y') ?>//<?php the_category(', ') ?>//<?php the_author(); ?></p>
       <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(300,9999), array ('class' => 'alignleft')); ?>
       <p class="thumbtext"><?php the_excerpt(); ?> </p>
       <div class="clear"></div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * This is my css
 * `.postarray {width: 300px;height: auto;padding: 5px;border-bottom: solid 1px 
   black;margin: 10px;vertical-align: baseline;float: left;display: block; }`

 * imho, there is no way that a simple float will do this;
 * have a look at: [http://www.transformationpowertools.com/wordpress/playing-with-columns-stacking-posts-grid-style](http://www.transformationpowertools.com/wordpress/playing-with-columns-stacking-posts-grid-style)
 * applied to your code, this could look like:
    ‘stacked posts in a grid’

 * Hero! , this has been puzzling me for hours and hours i even looked into overriding
   css to absolute position each post in a custom field!
 * Thanks again
