+I commonly use the [`listings` package](/blog/latexcode/) to showcase code in my LaTex documents. I tried doing the same in my Beamer slidedecks and I ran into an issue where the LaTex source code failed to compile. After digging around, I figured out its because every slide or frame that includes code (or any verbatim environment) needs to be marked as `fragile`. A minimal example is presented below:
+
+```latex
+\documentclass{beamer}
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+
+% Beamer Packages
+\usepackage{harvard}
+\usetheme{Copenhagen}
+
+% Code Rendering Packages
+\usepackage{listings}
+\lstset{
+  language=Java,
+  columns=flexible,
+}
+
+% Begin Slidedeck
+\begin{document}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]{Code Example}
+    \begin{lstlisting}
+    int x = 5;
+    \end{lstlisting}
+\end{frame}
+\end{document}
+```

+title: "Multi-Column slides in Beamer"

+When creating slides in LaTex Beamer, it can be frustrating to not have the easy ability to drag text boxes around. Luckily, creating a multi-column layout in Beamer is not difficult! Below is an example of a two column slide layout, where the left side is a bulleted list, and the right side is an image:
+
+```latex
+\documentclass{beamer}
+\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+
+% Beamer Packages
+\usepackage{harvard}
+\usetheme{Copenhagen}
+
+
+\begin{document}
+
+\begin{frame}{About Me}
+\begin{columns}
+
+% Column 1
+\column{.5\linewidth}
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item Enjoy going on short hikes.
+    \item Forgetful at times and writes blog posts to jog my memory.
+\end{itemize}
+
+% Column 2
+\column{.5\linewidth}
+\centering
+\includegraphics[width=4cm]{images/avatar.jpg}
+
+\end{columns}
+\end{frame}
+\end{document}
+```
