Hi everyone -

New member here. I'm looking for help with a problem that I'm sure many of you 
have faced.

I regularly use floats to create multi-column layouts, and it works very well. 
However, it get problematic when you need to float elements *within* those 
columns.

Say you have a two-column layout. Inside one of those columns, stacked 
vertically, you have teasers for several other pages. Each teaser consists of a 
thumbnail image and a paragraph of text.

The thumbnail image should be floated left, with the paragraph wrapping around 
it. And since you don't know how long the paragraph will be, you need to clear 
the float immediately after the paragraph.

*However*: doing this clears *all* left floats, including those on the columns 
- which is not the desired behavior.

Does this make sense? I can knock together an example if it doesn't.

Is there a graceful way around this problem?
