div sections
I believe they help clear floated elements? I have used them in the past for positioning tweaks in my themes.
Should i use them?
is it recommended to keep the sections and build the inner divs inside them?
I believe it's just a means
I believe it's just a means of logically organizing the "sections" of your page into bigger pieces and giving you safe place to add padding/margins to areas of your page. All padding and margins should, I think, be done to the .sections rather than their parent divs, such as #header and #footer, to avoid issues that may arise from any layout/positioning CSS you have in your layout.css file for those divs.
In recent updates to the theme, these .section divs have replaced the old #whatever-inner divs. #whatever-inner made less sense from a naming standpoint, semantically, than .section does.
thanks!
thanks!
Thanks Jersey
Will add padding and margins only to .section from now on.
