LocalGov Drupal: Creating Sensible Defaults in your Theme
We often end up with a lot of templates when theming, but we should also remember to create "sensible defaults", so before you start theming specifically your site doesn't look broken.
Writing sensible defaults means that the dev we might perform or the CSS we might write for a new feature/component is additive, and you do not need to reset libraries and/or write code to overwrite other code. Here's an outline of creating sensible defaults for our region template within the new localgov_base theme - region.html.twig.
I've started streaming some of my work, especially if it's contributions to open source, on twitch if you'd like to follow along/subscribe. As it turns out, Twitch deletes your videos after 14 days, so I have also been uploading them to YouTube. Feel free to subscribe.

The full title is "Something nice, something quirky, something else".
I send an email once a week with something nice, something quirky, and something else that I think is interesting (all with a web development theme, of course).
