I'm not able to look at your code on my phone, but by the looks of it you have the spans between the paragrahs. Technically I'd say the spans should be headings, but to answer your question;
Set the container div to position: relative; then set the spans to position: absolute; add a negative left equal to the left margin of the paragrahs. Also set the width to fit in the left column. Then finaly shift them down by setting bottom: -1em; or whatever your line-height is. Eystein Sent from my iPhone thatNorwegianGuy.wordpress.com Ps. Sorry for top-posting, I realized too late. I want my copy-paste!
