I almost always just use overflow hidden on my text-elements in those situations  it often works like a charm      post-container    margin  20px 20px 0 0   border 5px solid  333     post-thumb img    float  left     post-content    overflow hidden

Set the width of post-content and post-thumb so that you get a two-column layout

Is this what you re after    I changed your title into a h3  header  tag  because it s a more semantic choice than using a div    Live Demo  1 Live Demo  2  with header at top  not sure if you wanted that   HTML    lt div class  post-container  gt                       lt div class  post-thumb  gt  lt img src  http   dummyimage com 200x200 f0f fff    gt  lt  div gt       lt div class  post-content  gt           lt h3 class  post-title  gt Post title lt  h3 gt           lt p gt post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc post desc  lt  p gt      lt  div gt   lt  div gt    CSS    post-container       margin  20px 20px 0 0        border  5px solid  333      overflow  auto    post-thumb       float  left    post-thumb img       display  block    post-content       margin-left  210px    post-title       font-weight  bold      font-size  200
