One of the most common questions on the boards, is how do you add another column for Manji. Now I’d originally decided not to ever release Manji with two columns, and the reason for that is simple, just about all blogging themes have got at least two columns. Some might argue for good reason. I tend to believe that in order to keep Manji unique, I would keep it single column, and that was the philosphy.

Of course even I’ve resorted to doing a two column layout within Manji, and it’s been there since the day I released version 1.0, on the official Manji download page. Is it hard to implement, no not really. So here it is for all you crazy cats that have decided to go to the wordpress boards with this question after I told you NO ^_^, yeah that’s right I’m looking at you, I’ll spill the BIG secret.

Eventually I guess I might release another Manji flavour, but the Nebula Flavoured Manji will always be single column.

In the CSS, add the following lines:

.doublecolumns { }

.rightcolumn{ float: right; width: 350px; }

.leftcolumn{ float: left; width: 150px; }

Where you’re going to have your posts edit them in the following way (I’ve included SPACES so that the code can actually show up):

< div class="doublecolumns"> < div class="leftcolumn"> Where you'll place all your links and other stuff. < / div> < div class="rightcolumn"> Where the entries go. < / div > < div class="clearer"> < / div > < !- - You must have this, otherwise it won't wrap around itself - - >

Pretty simple I know. In fact if anyone had looked at the Manji download page, their problem would have been solved instantly ^_^.
