Sometimes, when developing a site with many content types, it can happen that your Drupal system may slow down “a little bit”. In most cases, that has nothing to do with Drupal itself, but it lies in the lack of resources of your local environment.
In those cases, it helps to save time by avoiding one or two clicks (that implies one or two page-loads) on the backend of your Drupal site.
The Drupal Coffee module provides a floating text box, which filters the results of the backend menus, according to the user’s input, whereas the Admin Toolbar module turns the default Drupal Toolbar into a dropdown menu.

There are cases, in which you do not need full e-commerce functionality (like Drupal Commerce) in your Drupal site, because you only sell a few products and the implementation of such a solution is financially and/or timely not viable.
PayPal allows you to create as many buttons as you like and embed them on your site through an HTML snippet.

in this episode, I'm gonna help you make creating your WordPress posts and pages go even faster. If you're like me, you love the new Gutenberg editor. Being able to drag and drop all of those different elements into a post or a page is really really easy, but if I'm creating the same kind of content over and over again like a blog with the same layout - say an image, then a paragraph, then a heading, another paragraph, and then maybe a quote or however you want to basically always create your posts or pages, all that dragging and dropping is really a hassle.
I'm gonna show you two really simple ways to make that go a whole lot faster: 1) reusable blocks, or 2) a simple plugin.

We are going to go back to basics and talking about margin and padding properties again, expanding on a previous post by Valentin Garcia.
When we start styling an HTML element with CSS, it is treated like a box by default. Border, margin, and padding are properties that affect the appearance of the box’s edges. Very simply, margin is the area on the outside of a box’s border and padding is the area on the inside of a border. The purpose, mostly, is to add space between elements for better design and readability.
