Here's a very short video demo of editing a menu using Drupal's Settings Tray module. Things like this will be what drives Drupal adoption.

Let's revisit my recent post and see if we can come up with more user-friendly names for PatternLab items.

Over and over again, I get designers telling me "this is a h4, and the following text is a h3". You cannot place a h3 inside a h4. Let's nation-build.

I'm sometimes asked for an overview of my general approach to PatternLab. Simple: put everything for each component in the same directory!

Here's two very interesting takeaways I got from the IndieHackers Podcast with David Smooke of Hacker Noon.

Mission: you have 2 fields in a Drupal paragraph bundle, one a node reference field and one a boolean field. Show certain fields in the referenced node depending on the value of the boolean field.

Ever gotten this error: User error: “attributes” is an invalid render array key? Here's what I do to get around it. If you've a better solution, let me know.

Sliders, those big ugly ad-like things on the top of most homepages, are, for the most part, hiding your most important information.

Who's responsibility is it to know about the site's information hierarchy? The designer's? The developer's? I believe everyone's.

Implementing designs is tricky at the best of times. But you, as a designer, can make life easier.
