CSS Alignment

Hello, If you look at the 3 articles below the slideshow you will see that the 3rd one doesn't sit flush with the edge of the wrapper. Was wondering if anyone would know how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't want to use flex box you can go with:

article { width:280px; float:left; margin:30px 0; }

article:nth-child(2n) { margin:30px 60px; }

article:nth-child(3n) { float:right; }

Its not the best way to do it by any means, but its a quick and dirty way to accomplish what you want with those fixed values.

The easiest way to do this would probably be to use flexbox. Set your article_home div to display: flex (don't forget to add vendor prefixes) and justify-content: space-between. Then you can get rid of the float on your articles.
