 * CSS is intentionally omitted.
    Evidently you need more CSS fu.
 * Try something like this:
 *     ```
       /* Column Classes */
       .column-clearfix {clear: both;}
       .column-wrapper-2 .column {
       	height:100%;
       	float: left;
       	margin: 0 1.5%;
       	width: 47%;
       	background: url(../img/division.gif) right repeat-y;
       	}
       .column-wrapper-2 .column-first {}
       .column-wrapper-2 .column-last {
       	background-image: none !important;
       	}
       .column-wrapper-2 .column-1 {}
       .column-wrapper-3 .column {
       	height:100%;
       	float: left;
       	margin: 0 1.5%;
       	width: 29%;
       	background: url(../img/division.gif) right repeat-y;
       	}
       .column-wrapper-3 .column-first {}
       .column-wrapper-3 .column-last {
       	background-image: none !important;
       	}
       .column-wrapper-3 .column-1 {}
       ```
   
 * Also try changing the plugin settings to use before and after marks (Normal content
   before … after … separator), and in the CSS example above you would need to change
   the CSS Column Class Prefix.

 * Thanks for tips. Added my own css and works nicely.
    Unfortunately it just craps
   out when I select ‘Normal content before and after’. Simply doesn’t add mark 
   up.
 * bug?
