Don't know why he popped into my head, but pop he did.

Reading thoroughly at 5:00 in the afternoon, yes. But at 8:30 this morning, whilst shovelling Rice Bubbles and banana in my face, I thought I was simplifying.

Create rectangles to cover the areas you want clickable.
Make the rectangles links.
Add 99% transparency to the rectangles.

I couldn't agree more. I've been struggling to find a way to express exactly that.

This whole exercise was to see how close reality came to the marketing. I was slightly surprised. With more...

It hasn't entered my head to group Blocks together, I can get images to disappear quite easily, and they don't always reappear by double-clicking the Scale Within Frame control. It may be...

50 odd posts ago, I wrote about my first attempt at making a small site that incorporated both Flexible Blocks and Freestyle Blocks. I used the blank, transparent Blocks from...

Emptying the Block is the trick. I can easily resize once the content is removed. I didn't make that connection. I tried, on many numerous occasions, to adjust with the content in place. Once I...

Whipping through the second page. No real problems, just a few observations:
I started with the Mobile Variant. The page is literally text area followed by image, repeat. So I made each section a...

The confusion 1 about the main variant being involved was your first line. "Sadly, needed on both Main and Variant." I see what you meant now...it can happen on BOTH, as opposed to need to apply the...

I'm missing something, probably something small, but vital.

I did all the bullet points above.
Confusion 1: why does altering the main variant to Left Justify have any bearing on this? ...

That's exactly the same as I'm experiencing. You can make the object sit properly by using Justify Left in the Horizontal Alignment option. But the FlexBlock remains the incorrect size, and you may...

Even so, I can't re-centre an object once it decides to mess you about.

Describing the picture below. The pink (placeholder, actually) rectangle pushed 20px to the right, because the combination...

With this firmly in mind, and with the knee scrapes from falling off the Blocks bike to remind me, I shall rebuild the first site I did. I'm pretty sure the 23.8 update cured the images running off...

I'm becoming more confident, and with that confidence comes clarity.

I rebuilt the above page from scratch. Yes, I copied the layout, so I was much quicker, but I wasn't bringing any problems from...

Alrighty. 23.8 had plenty of fixes listed in the Blocks section, and I had a site to build for a customer. I fired up Xara, opened File > New > hovered over the Blocks entry,...

Not a detour at all. You're still firmly in Block discussion territory.

I'm in the last stages of a site I'm making for a customer, hopefully finished today, ready for approval tomorrow. I very,...

That would be CaroleClaude T. Her site is CaroleClaude T and her Instagram (which she doesn't use much) is CaroleClaude T (@crazeedoodles)

The steps to success, plunging into the abyss as I put my foot on the first one.

And, of course, the very next day, the Xara team slaps the 23.8 release in my face that has 'Fixed' written on nearly every line and no mention of the Elements content.

I can visualise the Xara...

I fancy my chances. Australia has a 10 hour start on the UK.

It's 23.8 day today, Bill. Saddle up. We ride at dawn...after coffee...and a bit of breakfast...We ride at 10:00...ish.

I'm not sure if I've been down this track. I have definitely resized and moved the block background, which sometimes does one thing, then does another, which only goes to show I don't understand what...

Oh yeah, blame me :D

From this day forth, I'd like it known that the whole Xara team worked through the night without food or water, because I, ChrisM, posted a comment about being ignored.

I...

Thank you both. This started with a friend casually talking about reducing images for emailing. He made the comment that reducing by percentage retained the quality of a photo, whereas picking a...
