Containers - No More Floating

This week I watched DS38 welcome their first client, experimented with containers, and recreated 15 dashboards using various LoDs.

Until this week, I only ever used floating containers when creating dashboards. Horizontal and vertical containers felt restricting and I could not seem to get them to function the way that I wanted. I loved the flexibility that floating containers gave me, but it made resizing anything a nightmare!

As part of my tasks this week, I was told to watch this video, which helped me understand why I was having trouble before, and see the benefits of using fixed containers (if done properly):

After some experimenting and completing the 'Workout Wednesday' challenge on containers ( http://www.workout-wednesday.com/week-51-container-fun/ ), I am now a champion of the tiled container!
