title: Layout html cards using inline block
body: <p>This is the layout I would like:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/t8MIx.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/t8MIx.png" alt="screenshot"></a></p>
  
  <p>I am having trouble aligning the boxes. I have used <code>inline-block</code> as I have heard it's easier to deal with compared to floats.</p>
