Oct. 4th, 2022 05:07 pmi love layouts with multiple columns for posts, like this, this, this....
however, i don't find any of these on DW, except a single one made by killthecake, which i tried to edit but don't manage to make it fit my likes. so any tips or suggestions? i'd also be happy if someone actually made layouts that looked similar to the above ones since i enjoy minimalist style and tiny fonts.
edit: please don't reply with suggestions anymore, i have found solutions! i think this can stay open anyway, though, since other people might look for similar stuff and the suggestions here might be helpful for them.
