CSS How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Build a Three Column Layout

Smaller captions affecting images

So when I copy the text exact as in the tutorial the images work fine. But when I made the text shorter, image 6 alternated left and right when expanding and minimizing the screen, and image 3 was positioned on the right at a certain page size.

Is there any way of fixing this to make it more device friendly?

I shortened the text for the 5th and 6th image and it causes the image to jolt around when I minimize/maximize. The images are ok though if I copy the text exactly in the video..

Sorry I couldnt figure out how to post the css code smoothly :/
