This function lets you automatically generate the necessary Column Classes when looping through a custom query.

	<?php

	/**
	* Column Classes
	*
	* @param int $columns, how many columns content should be broken into
	* @param int $count, the current post in the loop (starts at 0)
	* @param int $extra_classes, any additional classes to add on all posts
	* @return string $classes
	*

	function be_column_classes( $columns = 2, $count = 0, $extra_classes = '' ) {
	$column_classes = array( '', '', 'one-half', 'one-third', 'one-fourth', 'one-fifth', 'one-sixth' );
	$output = $column_classes[$columns];
	if( 0 == $count \|\| 0 == $count % $columns )
	$output .= ' first';
	if( $extra_classes )
	$output .= ' ' . $extra_classes;

	return $output;
