blog content in columns

Dear Devin,
actually this could be a solution.
It only has two restrisctions to observer:
1) posts should be the same for each column, assuming that I put more than one column, each one including a “latest news” widget with a specific category to display;
2) if I wanted to display a sort of sidebar, when sidebar is set as not visible (no sidebar), there’s no way to leave enough room to allow posts to display around the rest of the content. So, one should limit the number of visible posts in the column in order to be as tall as the adjacent column, whose height is set by their content.
Please, see the attached screenshot to see what I mean.

Is there a chance to set a page like this?
1/3 1/3 1/3(=column with posts)
1/3 1/3 blank(=I want to list posts from above)
…
I think it would be better to set a custom sidebar containing “latest news” widget, right?

Please, just give me your hint about this point!
Thanks and best regards.

Hi Ismael! Thanks for your reply, too.
Sure you caught what I mean?
I was wondering if it’s possible to build a structure like this (without having any custom sidebar):

<table border="1" bordercolor="#FFCC00" style="background-color:#FFFFCC" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
	<tr>
		<td>1/3</td>
		<td>1/3</td>
		<td>1/3</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>1/3</td>
		<td>1/3</td>
		<td>blank</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>1/3</td>
		<td>1/3</td>
		<td>blank</td>
	</tr>
</table>

Where “blank” blocks should have been fulfilled by the content of the third “1/3 block” in the first row.

At this point I think it’s better to have a custom sidebar. But I was quite confident Enfold allowed to leave room for column content near to the other page content.
So, just to get to a conclusion here: technically speaking, what I ask for is more practically feasible by creating a custom sidebar, right?
How can I put it between two “Color Sections” without affecting or breaking the whole content of a page?
Is there a screencast, guide or useful post about this topic?

Many thanks to you all and for your prompt support.

Ok, Devin. I see what you mean and this is exactly what I was expecting as reply.
Just a question, though: I built a website with Enfold, but never had the need to build pages like you said:
– content 100%
– content 70% sidebar 30%
– content 100%
How could I do that?
Should I just put a thing like this?
– Color Section
– Content (outside any Color section) + config the sidebar in the settings
– Color Section

Waiting for your reply, many thanks and best regards.
