title: Bootstrap columns not aligning correctly
body: <p>I've built a layout using Bootstrap 3, and I have the following problem: I have a news section that is set to display a total of 9 news items, 3 on each row, summing 3 rows. However, they don't seem to align properly. Please see the picture below.</p>
