 * I’m still a WP newbie and I have this issue: I want to list my posts in two columns.
   Both are using CSS class (“list-story” and “list-story-alt”) so is there some
   WP tag where I could just switch dynamically those CSS classes?
 * This is how I want to present:
 *     ```
       <div class="list-story">
       Story info
       </div>
   
       <div class="list-story-alt">
       Story info
       </div>
   
       <div class="list-story">
       Story info
       </div>
   
       ...
       ```
   
 * Any tips?

 * You need to alter more than the css to list your posts in columns. Try a forum
   search to see how others accomplished it:

 * I thought there is a simple method for it. For example in ExpressionEngine there
   is a “switch” method where you can basically do this:
 * <div class=”{switch=’list-story|list-story-alt’}”></div>
 * And you get alternate DIVs.
 * Can WordPress accomplish it with this kind of manner or it needs some deeper 
   hacks?
