Query specific post by date or order posted

Will they all be from the same category or will each column represent a different category?

The same.

I’m not sure if I understand you 100%. It sounds like it’s just a css issue and not a programming issue. Is this correct? (The order that they’re posting in now is fine, you just want them to look different on the page?)

If you know of a css solution I’d love to hear it, but I want to call each post individually, and the only way I can think to do that is through php.

I want to call each post individually

What do you mean by this?
Do you want the your posts updating in a loop or do you want to place individual posts that never change in a certain place on your webpage?

If you just want to position them differently, but still want to have them cycle through, change your Loop to put each post in its own DIV. Then you can position them through whatever CSS you like.

Example:

<?php
...
$my_post_counter=0;
// beginning of the Loop
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
$my_post_counter++;
?>
<div id="post-<?php echo $my_post_counter; ?>">
<?php
// stuff to display post goes here
?>
</div>
<?php
} // end of the Loop
...
?>

See? So each post gets put into a div with an id of “post-X” where X is the number of the post on the page. Then you can arrange them around with CSS.

That’s what I was looking for! Thanks!

hi how would you arrange them with CSS taking the individual posts and resized them into the little “blocks” approximately 210px wide. But they show up within the “content” area of the home page in decending order from most recently posted

Figured it out. Thanks used a used a gave the class “post” a fixed width and height and made it float:left; may not be the right way to get it done but its working.
