Hey Guys,
Is it possible to have side-by-side paragraphs within a single ‘Main Copy’ layout?
As in, I do not want to have full length ‘Palettes’ on either side of my main thumbnail layout, but I would like to have separated text information in my ‘Main Copy’ view, above my thumbnail gallery.
I know you can ‘Shift-Return’ to get a new paragraph below an existing paragraph. Hoping to also achieve a side-by-side look for desktop view.

Awesome! Thanks, Rod. I’ll check it out.
I use it quite a bit, like on the home page of my main site or the bottom of the home page of one of my test sites (the pictures with links to other sites)
So Rod,
On your reference site, are you talking about what would be located in the source code, CSS -16, line 441, as I see it on my testing page at this link: https://solarviewstudios.art/ssa-store/sol-sims-art1/
As in, that’s where, for example,
[class=“col_”] {
is located and would be changed to achieve 2 columns as you describe on your site.
But it would be changed to…
[class=“col_6”] {
Correct?

What I’m suggesting in that post is to look at the Backlight CSS code to see how the classes are written and what other classes are available to use.
You can’t change anything in that code. You use the classes in html that you need to write to set the column widths.
to get two columns of equal width you’d first establish the 12-column grid with the “grid_12” class. Then create the two columns using the “col_6” class
<div class="grid_12"> <!-- this sets up the 12 column grid -->
<div class="col_6"> <!-- this sets up the first 1/2 width column -->
--------your html code containing text, pictures, etc--------
</div>
<div class="col_6"> <!-- this sets up the other 1/2 width column -->
--------your html code--------------------------------------
</div>
</div>
OK.
I mentioned in the past, that “I’m not a Code guy”, but I fake it with Adobe Dreamweaver. That being said, in recent months I have been actually trying to, at long last, started coding for real. As in, I am working on a new site, that I have coded completely from the ground up. At least all of the html and css stuff. Haven’t gotten into ‘Grids’ yet. Maybe down the road a ways. 
Thanks for the suggestions.
It’s just html. you could copy the code on the demo page I linked to in that post and paste it into a Backlight page just to see it working.
