RISMedia: How’d they do that?

    I was researching some real estate information and realized by recognizing the URL string that this site was using wordpress. Looking at the front page I would not have thought it was wordpress as it does not have a “blog” look at all. Looks like a true CMS. I was curious if anyone had any idea how they were achieving placing the various articles in a particular place on the page or point me to a place in the wordpress docs that explain the code necessary to achieve this.

    Thanks

    The differences between a ‘newspaper’ layout and a standard blog layout is mostly just layout.

    Much of the ‘layout’ comes from:
    1. a two-column design.
    2. a multi-query design, or sorting on categories and dates.
    3. really custom query/layout for the top of the page, sort of ‘sticky’ oriented.

    So far as I see, it’s also ALL done via CSS and custom tagging of divs/posts, there’s no table stuff mucking up the system. ?? ??

    I understand how they are doing the layout part, I guess my question was how were they threading the content through the layout. Breaking up the various posts and putting it in the different places on the page. I know how to do it with other CMS with tags, but I am not sure how it is being done in wordpress. Seems like it is more complicated.
