31,626 PointsThere's many code systems for grids inside the frameworks of Foundation and Bootstrap if you want to simply pull code but the basic idea is that you set classes for container elements of your content to predetermined widths that are floated so that they are positioned side by side. You then clear the parent element to end the float and begin again with a new row.

The Treehouse Forum is quickly becoming one of the most powerful places to get help with your design questions. A quick search may help you more than posting a question so broad as yours. If you want a broad overview of grids, look here: CSS Tricks Overview of Grids.
Let us know if we can help you more specifically. Don't forget to make use of the vast resource that is the Treehouse Forum.
Thanks! Zen
