Custom block help

I want to thank the developers here for offering such great, quick support. As we all know, you truly back up your theme with excellent work and help. I’ve convinced friends to use this theme because of the awesome support. So, thanks again!

Now the reason for my posting today:

Here’s an example: Mockup link

I appreciate the help.

Correct mockup

Looks to me like a row split into two columns in VC and each column filled with a Block 2 set to show 5 posts. It might also be separate blocks for top and bottom.

Thanks. Yes, I’ve split the row into two columns with the Visual Composer. The problem is, when I use “Block 2” in the two-column space, the top teaser does not span both columns, only one.

Basically, I’m getting this

When I need this.

Would love some help with this soon. I’m hoping to launch this page soon. Thanks very much.

Hmm… not sure. Might just have to have one block for the teaser, and a separate block for the smaller titles, in each column. But I just tried it out and couldn’t find an arrangement of blocks that gave me that. :/ Hopefully tagDiv support has an idea.
