Wordpress question

[captain_tiv]

To anyone who has used Wordpress...

If you download a plug in that makes the text show up in two columns, how do you actually put it into the code of the page?
We're using Wordpress at work, and this is the first time any of us have ever used it. :)

Plugins often have something you can do in the Settings, so that might be where you can do what you need to do. When looking at the Dashboard, click or hover over Settings, at the bottom of the left-hand column. If that plugin is listed, click that and see if that has what you need. If that doesn't help, go to the plugin's home page (download page) and see if there is a link to FAQs or support. If you're not sure where the plugin's home page is, look at your plugins section on the Dashboard and then click "Visit plugin site" for the applicable plugin.

I looked. :( Nothing's working. The plugin is activated, but there's nothing in settings. I played around with the code where it says to use [column-group] but there are no brackets in the code on the site. It's just <>. I tried <>, and they don't work. ::headdesk::

The items I'm trying to enter in the box just wont' go into two columns. I thought Wordpress was supposed to be very user friendly. Right now, I'm not feeling the friendliness.

Is this a plugin to make each entry show up in two columns? If so, you put [column-group] in the post itself, not in the Wordpress code - I'm guessing at the beginning or where you want it to break or something like that.

There's a long list of 12 paragraphs that I want to put into two columns.

The [column] goes in the post? It doesn't say that on any of the instructions! ::grumble:: I was trying to put it in the code. ::kicks wordpress::
