Now you do not have to brother about columns as CSS3 supports it. Use CSS3 to create a set of columns on your website without having to assign individual layers and / or paragraphs for each column. It is pretty straightforward. In this example we create a 3 column layout.

#multiple-images {
   background: url(image_1.png) top left no-repeat,
   url(image_2.png) bottom left no-repeat,
   url(image_3.png) bottom right no-repeat;
}
