Aligning Groups of "Block 2" with Varying Excerpt Length

Really loving Newspaper so far. Everything has worked as well or better than I hoped.

I have a question about aligning four blocks in a grid on a front page. I’m trying to display posts from four separate categories in a 2×2 grid next to a sidebar. It works pretty well so far, but slight variations in title length and excerpts can cause certain blocks to be “longer” than others, causing misalignment of the row below.

Here’s a screen shot to illustrate:

I would prefer to keep the 2×2 grid and sidebar in a single Visual Composer row if possible, since the sidebar’s height matches well with the grid.

I haven’t looked too closely at the CSS yet, but was hoping there might be an elegant solution. Any advice? Thanks in advance for the support.

Hello,
The ‘misalignment’ comes from the post titles themselves. If the titles are set to be cut by words, then this could happen as not all words have the same length. Please cut your titles by letters if you want perfect alignment: http://screencast.com/t/jep72tMoc
Thank you!

Makes sense, thanks!
