Hello Reader,

You may have noticed that I didn’t send out an email last week.

This week’s email is going to be a short one as well.

I have some personal matters that I’m taking care of at the moment, so I may miss sending one out next week as well; we'll have to see, but things will be back to normal here in another week or two.

And because this section is shorter than normal, an apology to everyone who voted for the musings at the start of your emails, which was almost tied with the people who voted for the what I’ve been up to section.

A few people reached out to ask if I was going to use the results to change the format of my newsletter and unless one section got like, <5% of the vote, I had no plans to change anything.

I was mostly curious, and I also realize that because someone voted for one of those sections, it doesn’t mean they don’t like the others 😊.

🙋‍♂️ What I’ve been up to this week

No podcast or Short this week. They should be back in ~2 weeks, give or take a week.

Wrapper classes: A layout foundation

​

I’m going to be sprinkling in a little bit more beginner content from time to time, and this week I did that, taking a look at the very basics of using a .container/.wrapper class, even though I have mostly stopped using them in favor of this grid breakout system I use now.

I think foundational videos are still good to have, and even if I don’t use setups like that anymore (and prefer using width: min() when I do), what I covered in this video is what people will run into most of the time, so I think it’s still worth teaching.
