    Hello everyone,

    Im trying to change the way my posts are displayed which I think have to be changed in the CSS. But theres a few issues.

    The site is located 2D-X Test

    Right now I have a Top Stories area which displays only posts from one category with this code :

    <ul>
<?php
global $post;
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=3&category=3');
foreach($myposts as $post) :
?>

<li><a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

    But I would like it to show up just like how IGN has their Top Stories area with a Picture Floating Left and the Post to the right.

    Right now I only have them displaying Permalinks.

    Any help would be great! Cheers.

    You’d need to change the template code above as well as your CSS. See this Codex page for an example.

    Thanks esmi. Got the code to what I want it to be. 

    <h1>Top Stories</h1>
  <?php
 $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=3&order=ASC&category=3');
 foreach ($postslist as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
 ?>
 <div>
 <h5><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5> <?php the_date(); ?>
 <?php the_content(__('Read more'));?><div style="clear:both;"></div>
 <?php comments_popup_link('Leave a Comment', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?><br />
 </div>
 <?php endforeach; ?>

    Ill change the CSS later on to fit my needs. But I was wondering about the Picture situation, does that have to be added within the CSS? but then it would display the same picture for each post….its kind of a head scratcher.

    If it can be done that would be great but I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

    Cheers!

    Actually I have figured out how to add the images. It was fairly easy.

    Thank you for all the help!
