    Hi! I have the Maxwell theme and I want to make my posts on my main page smaller and I want to have multiple columns. Is this possible?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    Can you describe how you’re envisioning the smaller posts a bit more? Are you picturing them shorter, narrower, or both?

    In terms of columns, that’s not always easy to do on a theme that wasn’t built that way originally.

    For example, if you use something like this in your CSS:

    .home #primary .post-wrapper .has-post-thumbnail {
    display: block
}

.home #primary article {
	width: 50%;
    float: left;
}

.home #primary .post-wrapper .has-post-thumbnail .post-content {
    padding-right: 2em;
}

.home #primary .post-wrapper .has-post-thumbnail .post-image,
.home #primary .post-wrapper .has-post-thumbnail .post-content {
	width: 100%;
}

    You’ll get narrower posts on the home page, and two columns – but the different lengths of the posts means you’ll have some gaps. That part, unfortunately can’t be fixed by CSS.
