# Create two column WordPress layout?

 * Now, here’s a tough one. I’m new to WordPress but pretty good with XHTML/CSS,
   and I’m trying to create a two column layout. Now the tricky bit is that the 
   person I’m trying to install this for is going to want to edit both column’s 
   worth of information on a per-page basis.
 * To give you an idea, say she’s posting an article. She wants to write the article
   out in full, and then, along the side, feature a brief blurb about the article,
   or any related information (like charts, contact info, etc.)
 * Not a problem, I think, so I come up with the less than perfect plan to add a
   section at the bottom of the article, wrapped in a [code] tag, and then, in CSS,
   set:
 *     ```
       code{
       position:absolute;
       top:0;
       left:0;
       }
       ```
   
 * to move this code block into the top left corner. Now, I'm running into a problem
   whereby WordPress is shuffling around the output so that the [/code] tag is appearing
   in the wrong place (wrapping around the first element in the code block).
 * Any ideas on a way around this, or even a better solution to my hackneyed CSS?
