making newsbits become two columns

[ikastara]

hello,

I need to make the newsbits to be displayed in two columns
something like this:

[news title______________________________________________]
[news date and author____________________________________]
[___news message column1___ . ___news message column2___]
[___news message column1___ . ___news message column2___]
[___news message column1___ . ___news message column2___]
[___news message column1___ . ___news message column2___]
[___news message column1___ . ___news message column2___]
[news replies, etc________________________________________]

I tried editing adv_portal_newsbits
but I found that the message is in a variable $news[message]
and I don't have any idea how to split this...
(actually I'm not sure whether I can run a regular PHP script and how to do this)

please help
