 * I love the Display Posts Shortcode plug-in, but am wondering how to make sure
   that post excerpts stack, with a break between, no matter the length of the post.
   Right now, a post excerpt with a short text will be followed by the next excerpt
   inline instead of beneath. Any help?
 * Thanks!

 * .display-posts-listing .listing-item { overflow:hidden; width: 100%;}

 * I used the above shortcode and it didn’t work. My blog posts have a thumbnail
   pic on the left and the wording to the bottom right and there are no line breaks
   in between the short excerpts. I also tried <p> and 
    both inside and outside
   the brackets but didn’t work. This is the shortcode that I have:
 * [display-posts include_excerpt=”true” image_size=”thumbnail” wrapper=”div”]
 * What coding will work with this? And do I put it inside the [ ] brackets or outside?
   If you look at my blog page you’ll see what I mean. Also the wording should wrap
   around the pic on the right hand side. What code do I use for that? Please see
