 * Hi Everyone,
 * I have created a custom theme and I want to learn how to code a custom content
   grid for a certain area on the site. Can anyone tell me what language I need 
   to learn to accomplish this or where I can get started to learn this new venture?
   Any direction is appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * I would like my content post to display similar to the tanzaku
    theme. My template
   has a header and left side bar. I would like to learn how to make the custom 
   content grid (to display post), so that it fits to the right of my sidebar- leaving
   the rest of the template untouched.
 * My site if you would like to kinda see what I mean:
    [http://redilinks.com/category/business_directory/](http://redilinks.com/category/business_directory/)
 * I would like it to look like the content is in a table and scrolling straight
   down like it is now. I just don’t know what language to learn to make this happen.

 * Sorry, I meant I would like my content to appear to be in a table and not scrolling
   straight down like it is now.

 * I’ve looked at the coding for the tanzaku theme and it looks like it is more 
   than HTML and CSS. Does anyone have an idea of where to start? Or a book I can
   buy.

 * Why don’t you instead use that theme, rather than trying to replicate it?

 * If I can learn how to code this kind of stuff myself, then I can adjust it to
   fit other pages that I have and not just this one. Also, I may be able to create
   other new ideas too.
 * I’ve tried hacking the code to the tanzaku theme (there hasn’t been support to
   this theme for 2 years), but I can’t make it work right in my theme. There are
   many sites that have content grids similar to what I’m looking for, so I know
   there must be a place to start for learning purposes.
 * I don’t just want to copy code and not be able to figure out why it won’t work.
   I’d rather try to learn why you do things a certain way. If you know of any good
   books or sites that I can visit, I would really appreciate it.
 * I’ve searched this subject for weeks now and can’t figure out where to start.
   I’m trying to self teach myself (it takes a long time) 🙂
