I'm having more trouble vertically aligning the 'home-featured-class-3' div in the pink 'home-featured-class-A' div. Can someone please help? I can never succeed with vertical alignments

Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/o6ekutaL/2/

Notes:

• You can vertically align using vertical-align: middle;
• But this only works if your divs are set to display: inline-block;
• By using display: inline-block; you do not need to set floats, it already does float then.
• I set the widths using percentages, so it's a fluid layout as well.
• An alternative would be using some display: table-cellhackery, but in general I'd prefer this one.
