How to theme a block to dispay muliple nodes in a line.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has experience with modifying the output of views to display inline.

I am using Views 2 to generate a series of nodes. These four nodes are displayed in the sidebar-left section of my revised theme. Each of these nodes has a picture and a caption that links to a full rendering of that specific node. So far so good. You can see my progress, and my problem, at:

As you can see, the nodes are stacked one on top of the other. I would like to have them align right next to each other. According to Dev Module Themer, the file I THINK I want to edit is views-view-fields.tpl.php. But I don't even know what to say. I guess I was hoping it would reference the block and I could somehow apply a display: inline tag somewhere. But that's just not the case. It really looks like a loop that cycles through the field elements and creates the node.

SO, my questions:

1. Am I looking in the wrong place? Should I edit something else besides views-view-fields.tpl.php?

2. Can I just address that through my CSS by setting the left column block to display: inline? (Tried this and it did not work.)

3. Alternatively, can I create 4 DIV elements in this DIV and push my content into them?

Thanks for having a look. Any help would be appreciated
