...I now have a related question about consistent height for each grid column. The headings are not a consistent length. Should I apply "min-height" css to that field, or is there a better way using flex or something?

Hi, not only are the heading heights inconsistent, the excerpt heights are inconsistent. If the images are not cropped, those could be variable as well if the image content is not created in the correct aspect ratio. So you have multiple elements in each grid cell that are potentially of variable height. I don't know an easy way to solve it with flexbox so that the excerpts are all top-aligned, and the Learn More buttons are all top-aligned, and all the grid cells have the same height. The grid uses a CSS Grid layout, not flexbox. As you mentioned, I think CSS min-height applied to multiple container elements is going to be the most effective solution here since there are multiple variable heights involved.
