alright on some sites, it has the news box or w/e and a post in there, and then when they make a new update, the new contentbox is above or under it, but they are linked together with like a chain or something, how do they do that? do you have to keep adding new frames everytime you want to add a new content box, ill look for an example to help understand it better


couldnt find a pic, so i made a drawing in paint, with my pro drawing skills,

its cheap but it gives a basic idea, so when they make another comment, it will add another content box with the chains linking them together.

thanks sorry if its kinda confusing :D

Do you mean the text flows from one box to the next? Or they are literally connected with some kind of image?

For the first problem (text flowing from one box to the next), all you have to do is make a div, then float another div right in the middle of it.
<div style="float:right; margin: 50px 0;">
Some random stuff</div>
<div>
A big ol' block of text that should get sperated (in theory).  This isn't tested, but i use something similar on my site, so it should be on the right path to where you want to go.
</div>

na, like top box is like news one, and then a new post is made, news two, and they keep getting linked together, so each new update is a new box, which is connected to the others
