are boxes the right way to go with this design idea?

Hi people, so far so good with platform pro. I have a photoshop mockup that I'm managing to copy pretty well. The mockup is here: http://www.onet-it.com/mockup.html'>http://www.onet-it.com/mockup.html The site is here: http://www.onet-it.com/ The mockup is for the development page. I have a fixed-width page with a sidebar that features a slideshow. Most internal pages of the site will have these thumbnail links in the main content area under the body text.. I was thinking for the 4 thumbnails I was going to use boxes. I think the look can be remedied with css... right now it's rough. Here's what I have so far. http://www.onet-it.com/?page_id=16 Question is, are boxes the right approach to get this page to look like I want? I'll want each thumb to link to its own page of course editable by the client. If anyone has the time or inclination to look at this and give me your thoughts I would appreciate it greatly. Better ideas certainly welcome! Don't know if I've bitten off more than I can chew as they say. Thanks

My gut tells me you simply need to create a table with two rows, centered content in each cell, and place that at the bottom of the text. I don't know that boxes are a good solution here.

boxes won't work and ignore that gibberish about tables, 1995? After the main content just add something like this repeated for each image, and css as needed. If you add a higher elemental you can position the whole pedorow

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it. Bev, what you're proposing seems like it's on the right track. I'm not that great at modifying wordpress and that's why I'm intrigued by platform pro. One thing I've never understood is where do you add the code to modify your html? Such as adding divs etc. Thanks again! I don't mind sarcasm as I'm a chronic BS artist myself.

Just go to your page edit screen, and click the tab that says "html" (next to "visual")
