title: Twitter Bootstrap Preferred Way to Align Span Content
body: <p>So this might seem like an obvious question to some, but what is the best practice for aligning versatile span content in a responsive grid? I know you could simply set a pixel height, but wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of keeping things responsive?</p>
  
  <p>Take the below screenshot for instance:</p>

  <pre><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
      &lt;div class="row"&gt;
         &lt;div class="span3 well"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec facilisis venenatis sollicitudin. Nam eros risus, lobortis a ultricies sed, interdum in mi. Donec elementum ullamcorper odio, vel gravida velit pretium quis. Donec sagittis, sem nec rhoncus tristique, dui ante volutpat nisl, sit amet feugiat velit lorem sagittis turpis. Quisque laoreet arcu et sapien volutpat nec porta augue iaculis. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean accumsan feugiat libero, vel fringilla neque euismod vitae. Nullam justo mi, faucibus sagittis pharetra non, egestas sit amet nulla.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
