I've tried them all. News is the best. Second best is Smartsections by the Smart Factory. Next comes Article by phppp. Everything else has too many problems. Just my opinion.

You go into block administration and set up the blocks. It's exactly the same format as the site you used as an example. Here it is on one of my sites. You can set it up any way you like - horizontal, vertical, diagonal.......... well maybe not diagonal.

But it renders the same visual effect.

This FAQ section will explain blocks and how to use them. Good resource for beginners
