Hi Chris
Thanks for calling in this morning :).
I suspect the problem you are running into here is that the bits of code that you need CMS Builder to repeat for each article just aren't quite in the right place
My recommendation is going to be setting up a sample page with a few test articles hardcoded right onto it. This makes it much easier to get the page looking perfect to start. At this stage, don't worry about CMS Builder at all. Just do everything by hand so that you have a working template.
Once you have that sample template done, you should see where the CMS Builder code needs to go but post it as an attachment if you run into any trouble.
Thanks!

Just another point
to list the data in a horizontal line instead of a vertical column

Hi Chris
I would say try float: right instead. It really depends on how everything else is setup on the site though. This would be another situation where you'd want to have a working template first before starting anything with CMS Builder.
Keep me up to date :).
