Block Settings
You will have noticed by now that you get a right-hand pop-up menu when you
are editing items (the editing panel) and the menu varies according to what type
of item you are editing and what type of block. The variations are too numerous
to cover in detail in this workbook but once you know the principles then you can
experiment and work out for yourself what they do.
It is worth spending a little time demonstrating another tip for enhancing the look
of a page. A little earlier in this section we created a 3-column container block
containing two images with text between them in the centre column. If I now
return to the settings for that block and scroll down to the dimensions section
you will see that I have increased the padding round this block. The padding is
the space around the block. To make this block stand out more on the page I
have also added a background colour to the block. You can see the result and
the menus used to achieve it below.
It is within the block settings that you will find things such as margins, borders, giving blocks curved
edges, and more.
