2 Column general content block/Twitter
The 2 column general content block/Twitter is used to create a section highlighting two areas. This content type is similar to the 2 column general content block except it contains an extra column on the right for a Twitter feed.
Unlike the 2 column colour block, these columns don't act as links, they simply contain text content, using standard formatting.
There is the option to have these with a colour background or with a white background (black text). See both options below.
Images can be added (or not) to each block to illustrate the information you are promoting.
If you have more than one area on a page which you want to draw your users attention to, you can have more that one block on any one page.
Here are live examples
First set of blocks have the Use colour option ticked and the second set do not.
Take a look at how it works and then 'give it a try' by following the instructions below.
