 * I’m going crazy trying to get a single row of three YouTube videos to line up
   in a home page post. This is what I’m inserting in the post edit page:
 * [one_third]
    YouTube Video Content here [/one_third]
 * [one_third]
    YouTube Video Content here [/one_third]
 * [one_third_last]
    YouTube Video Content here [/one_third_last]
 * This should work but I get two clips to work or three but often don’t line up
   either.
 * Check the second post on the home page.

 * I’m sorry but it is beyond the scope of these forums to deal with basic CSS issues.
   Try a dedicated CSS resource such as [http://www.css-discuss.org/](http://www.css-discuss.org/)
   instead. In the meantime, using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind
   of CSS work.

 * I’ve had this before, what works for me is by removing all the spaces between
   the one third shortcodes like this:
 * [one_third]YouTube Video Content here[/one_third][one_third]YouTube Video Content
   here[/one_third][one_third_last]YouTube Video Content here[/one_third_last]
 * This normally works for me.
 * Hope this helps.

 * > by removing all the spaces between the one third shortcodes like this
 * if this causes the middle shortcode not to render, add a single space character
   between the shortcodes, like so:
    `[one_third]YouTube Video Content here[/one_third][
   one_third]YouTube Video Content here[/one_third] [one_third_last]YouTube Video
   Content here[/one_third_last]`
