Notes when adding card items

If you add a lot of content in the description for one of the cards all the other cards will grow to be the same size.  If you have little content in one of the cards and a lot of content on another card, you will have a lot of white space showing on the card with a little content.

Images should all be the same size before you upload them to each of the items.  Suggested size for a images  800 x 500, you won’t display it that big. You can make a large image display smaller, but you can’t make a small image show larger or it will get distorted.

You have the choice of making the Title clickable or the Image clickable.  Stay consistent, either have all the titles clickable or all the images clickable

Sites that have cards on them, you will need scroll down on the pages to see the cards
