Hi, so I'm working on the stylesheet of a Wordpress template that would show a set of posts in a 3x2 list. Each list item contains, the title of the post, an image, and an excerpt.
Now my problem is that I want to have each element aligned at the same hight with the others of the same kind. So all titles aligned, all images aligned, and all excerpts aligned.
So far I have not managed to do so as you can see here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/f6bakwcw1jpiywq/misaligned%20li.png
What could I do to align each element with the others? Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance!

maybe you can try setting heights for h1, images, and p elements.

One thing I think you could do but may not be your perfect solution would be to have the image on top of the h1. This would make the layout a lot more even.
You could also just shrink the font size of the h1 a little bit to make those longer words fit on the line. Wouldn't go too crazy on this though.
You could also do this, but will clip whatever text goes over the width of the container it is in:
h1 { overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; }
Personally I would go for the first solution and let the text/content dictate rather than the design.
