Editable article layout for worlds without CSS

Currently, the basic world layout is not the best for me, so I would like an easy way to modify the layout and positioning of my articles, cause just having them in a large line in the corner and then my most recent ones on the side is kind of ugly, and CSS is NOT my forte. It could be simple, or advanced. I just don't want my page stretching out for 3 pages with only articles on the side. If I just do not pay attention and there is a way to do this already, then please tell me.
(It could be pretty much anything, like a way to stack your articles on both sides or display them in blocks like on the articles page of a profile or after you publish a recent article.)

A good start also is to use hierarchies through the Navigation tab of the old editor. By making articles into children, a tree view becomes much more manageable. Have a look at these:- https://www.worldanvil.com/learn/article-guides/parent-article https://www.worldanvil.com/learn/bbcode-tutorials/article-layout https://www.worldanvil.com/learn/bbcode-tutorials/bbcode-tables By embedding an article block inside a table you can lay them out horizontally as well as vertically.
