Can the 3 columns instead be laid out like this?
Article 1 | Article 2 | Article 3
Article 4 | Article 5 | Article 6
and so on...
If not, you could use 3 instances of the Paginator object with items
per page set to however many articles you want to show per column. The
3 paginators' page numbers would be set to 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
