  I chose the suburbia theme – http://suburbiademo.wordpress.com/ – which only has 2 columns for posts. My blog – http://globusidiomas.wordpress.com/ – has three columns of posts. How can I switch to 2 columns?

  It doesn’t sound to me like you understand how the Suburbia theme is designed.

  Suburbia description notes http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/suburbia/
  live demo site http://suburbiademo.wordpress.com/

  On the main page, Suburbia doesn’t display regularly inserted images. They only display when a post is viewed on its own page – not on the front page. Only two posts with featured images in them display there side by side.

  To have front page image display you need to set a featured image to each post and make each post a sticky post. The size of the featured image does matter. The featured image works best with images at least 350 by 248 (width, height).

  Setting a Featured Image > http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
  Stcky posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  I knew it would as I have used that theme on one of my blogs. You’re welcome. :)

  It doesn´t work in my blog.

  I want to have 2 columns in the first row and 5 columns in the rest of the page, just like http://suburbiademo.wordpress.com/

  Please help me, my blog URL is http://ticserendipity.wordpress.com/

  This is not above controlling “columns”.

  The number of posts displayed on the front page is set here > Settings > Reading. If you want two featured posts at the top and 5 posts below then set 7 posts to display on that page.
  Reading Settings
  Blog pages show at most _7_posts

  The two posts at the top are posts that have featured images at least 350 by 248 (width, height) set and they are designated as sticky posts.
