FAQ Page Columns:

The FAQ box is intended for use in a column which allows for more boxes to be used in a smaller amount of space. This method only allows for 2 columns on a page.

Wrap the boxes in a column div as follows to make the first column:

<div class="column">FAQ_BOXES_HERE</div>

To make the second column, do the same thing you did for the first column to another collection of FAQ boxes.

<div class="column">
FIRST_COLUMN_BOXES
</div>
<div class="column">
SECOND_COLUMN_BOXES
</div>

If content is going to be placed after the 2 columns, another div is needed to make sure the formatting of the content isn't affected by the columns. Add this code after the end of the 2 column divs (do not put any content into this div):

<div style="clear: both;"></div>
