Sources of Inspiration: Blog Layout Part II

Under the homepage header there are three stories, two having a picture then headline at the bottom, and the middle story having the headline at the box of the box balancing out the page.  Underneath the first row of three stories is a row solely dedicated to one story, breaking up the rows like so...
