Cannot make two columns of articles.

Thanks for the quick reply. Im sorry, but I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you mean delete the indicated css and put /* commented content */ in that position. Anyway, that's what I did. Now the backgound on all pages, single and multiple column, are displayed incorrectly. I've left it that way so you can see the affect if you look at my site.

Ivan told you to comment out CSS classes .content_wrap_bottom and .content_wrap. If you don't know how to comment out CSS code, then just replace it, but keep a copy of original layout.css file.

I commented out the indicated code. When you say clear all properties from the css entities, I'm not sure what you mean. Does commenting out the code result in it being cleared, or do I have to use the clear attribute somehow (or something else) in the code somewhere? Sorry, but I'm not very familiar with CSS coding and terminology and am unsure what exactly to do.
Anyway, uncommenting the indicated CSS code didn't fix it, as there is now no background behind the content on any of the pages. I guess I'm not doing it correctly. Please clarify, plus any other suggestions. Thanks.

Ok, backup first layout.css and just delete them:


layout.css:

.content_wrap_bottom {
background: url(../images/content_border_bottom.png) no-repeat bottom left;
}

.content_wrap {
background: url(../images/content_border.png) repeat-y;
margin-top: 30px;
}

Thanks. I did as you said. But now there is no grey background. However, I kind of like it that way. After also taking out the grey area behind the highlighted left menu item it looks a bit brighter, which better suites the image of the service I'm selling.
So, I'm happy with the way it looks now and will leave it as it is. Thanks for all the help.

Hi gmh,
Can I ask if you have solved the problem of viewing the blog? I installed the "hot start" and only by testing it with demo data, the blog is only one column. The settings are correct (2 columns in default).
It seems to me the same problem as you were. I opened an issue in the forum but I can not get out.
thanks
Andrea
