H1 is used only in the "intro" section or banner/header section at the top of a page, and always is on top of an image.
Set the image for page by going to the settings (gear icon) for that page and adding a photo in the media tab. After you do that, you will be able to edit the text in the header like you would any other text on the page.
In general, the header text should be less than a sentence. Add two spacers above and two spacers below (without changing the height of them). If the header looks too tall after saving and viewing the live site with full width browser, remove one of the spacers.
h2 is used as the headline within the body of each page.
H3 is only used in the footer (the quotes are in H2). The footer has different color settings, which is why it looks different here.
Anything that is more than one sentence long should be considered body text and be in Normal.
and should be center, except when they're used as a "read more" or "back to" and should be size "small" and:
Blog thumbnails should be in the 3:2 aspect ratio
If you have ever wondered why making friends as an adult somehow requires vastly more effort than it seemed to when you were eight, friendship researcher Dr. Marisa G. Franco has some reassuring news: you are not suddenly terrible at friendship; the circumstances changed.
I got to talk with Marisa about why friendships rarely happen “organically” in adulthood, why we consistently underestimate how much other people like us, what social anxiety does to our attempts to connect, why rejection might deserve a rebrand, and why learning to feel bad might actually make us better friends.
there’s this really common thing that happens when we are nervous - we shift the focus onto ourselves to cope. we mostly don’t even realize we are doing it. but it sends the signal we aren’t interested in others, and makes us less likable.
you know when you’re giggling with a new friend over something you totally thought no one else would get? yeah. that. there’s a lot of closeness we can build if we don’t shy away from being a little embarrassing or awkward with eachother.
we all need to cancel socializing from time to time, and sometime we aren’t “feeling it”. But the real thing is we need to build up social momentum with positive reinforcement! it’s better than rotting, we promise.
Sometimes you meet someone and immediately feel like you’ve known them for years.
Clicking with someone can feel random, like either the chemistry fairy visits your conversation or she doesn’t. But a lot of what creates that feeling is surprisingly concrete:
Here are a few ways to help that happen.
this week we tackle how to show up to a full room, join group conversations, meet individual people, and think about why it feels so dang awkward to do this when - we’re all here to do it, most of the time?
there’s a lot of first date advice on the internet, but this week we talk about an overlooked mistake that ruins both first dates - and friendships.
When we think about what makes a relationship good, we tend to think about the big stuff. But there’s one thing that shows up again and again in the relationships people actually feel safest in and closest in.
at some point in our life, we have all been told we just need to “put ourselves out there” to get what we want. Friends, dates, even jobs. Even worse, more than once somebody around the crudité tray at the function thinks this is an appropriate pep talk following a break up, big life change, or other transition. Personally, I’ve never felt a lightning bolt of insight come through when someone suggests “putting myself out there”.
This week we explore why this advice rankles and the wisdom of having a plan in place.
it can feel risky, and maybe even invasive, to be the one to make the first move - but this tiny social risk will pay off over and over
