Blog Posts element corrupts layout

Hi there,
I have a page where, using the avia layout builder, I have a 2/3 column easy slider, next to a 1/3 column with a blog posts content element. Below the slider, I have three “1/5” columns with /images/text elements. The problem is, the blog posts element forces my three “1/5” column elements to the bottom of the page. When i remove the blog posts element, they sit underneath the slider as they should. Is there something with the blog element that takes up more room than it should? Is there an adjustment you can suggest?

Lastly, if I get the 2/3 1/3 issue figured out, I’d like to adjust the padding between the 1/5 columns so that they line up vertically with the 2/3 column slider. Can you suggest a css fix for this?

Thanks so much,

Pelyon
