In index.php replace

    while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $postcount++; ?>

(or similar, I am already in 3.3.3)

with

PHP Code:


		
			
    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

    <?php $column = 1; ?>

    <?php // The LOOP. Do this for all posts:

    while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $postcount++; ?> 



        <?php if ($column == 1) echo "<tr>"; ?>



        <td class="column<?php echo $col;?>" style="vertical-align: top">

and still in index.php replace

PHP Code:


		
			
    <?php // END of the LOOP

    endwhile; ?>

with

PHP Code:


		
			
        </td>

        

        <?php if ($column == 2) echo "</tr>"; (($column==1) ? $column=2 : $column=1); ?>

        

    <?php // END of the LOOP

    endwhile; ?> 

</table>

And at Theme Options -> Posts or Excerpts
choose "Only Excerpts" everywhere

Or, to limit this to the homepage make a copy of index.php as home.php, apply the above edits in home.php instead of index.php and upload home.php to the theme's directory /wp-content/themes/atahualpa332/, and set Theme Options -> Posts or Excerpts -> Posts or excerpts on HOME page? to "Only Excerpts"

is this still possible in 3.6.7 ? with making home.php and edit the code there ? so when new version comes home.php will stay ?
