Hello Guys
With Hylke we've been discussing footer recently. I\d like to know your view on our
site footer.
Do you prefer the one complete with all news details (knowing we already have a news entry
in the menu) ? like below
Feedback welcome

> Because you're working border-box, padding is taking extra space out out the box
and if there is not enough space in the parent container it expands. One thing I would
advise is: when designing your site, test it on real devices on iterative steps as often
as possible.
