I'm not sure if this is a general web design or Wordpress question.

I have a simple demo here to illustrate my question.

http://www.ttmt.org.uk/forum/wp/

It's just a simple 2 column responsive layout.

My simple question is how do I spilt the content between the two columns.

The page will be a page in Wordpress and not posts (I think).

I wanted to create a page in Wordpress and place the text on the content area

There is one content area in Wordpress, is there a way to split this content
so I can say this is the left column, this is the right column.

The text will all be on the same subject but I need to split it between two columns.

Thanks in advance for any help.
