I am Redesigning a Press page…

I AM REDESIGNING THE PRESS PAGE
Should I use BLOG element?
or a grid?

What I am REALLY looking for is a template that will display my client’s Press in a neat and simple way. Here is her PRESENT hand-coded site’s press page.
http://cakemonkey.com/press
The images link to a pop-up to show article or go to article.
You can see we started out with the same size content (at the bottom), then when the client put their own images up— it got out of control.

1) Any suggesting on what element to use for this press page?
2) Any way to have my non-tech client size images before posting?

I tried a grid blog page but I have lost my ability to make a basic grid blog page after so many ‘experiments’ (like this but about 7 columns)
