Yes, it’s another dev diary. Two in one week, whatever next?!
I thought it’d be good to go over the new Text & Image Component we added to this weeks beta. I’ve been using it more and more when designing pages as it’s super fast to build out pages.
Watch the video below and let us know what you think. Is this new component useful? Is it missing any must have features to make it really useful?
I haven’t had a chance to look yet (took a few days away from Elements) but the video makes it look really nice.
Would it be right to say the changes to Sections (being able to add items, control width, pad and margin directly) are making Containers a little redundant? I’m struggling a little to see where Containers fit in.
You’d be correct, there may be cases where you’d want to use a container for other things, but we’re trying to make it so you don’t ALWAYS have to add a container. It’s the best of both worlds. Remember, we’re always trying to make Elements as flexible as possible!
Steve, Thanks for the info. Given that, perhaps this video post should be removed or have a note at the top reflecting that. I just spent over 10 minutes watching thinking it was what I needed to know.
