 * Regarding the Custom CSS option, if you try to save any [flexbox related properties](https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/)
   in the CSS editor, they don’t save, most get stripped out. For example, entering
   this:
 *     ```
       /* Flexbox container */
       #content {
          display: -webkit-flex;
          display: flex;
          -webkit-flex-direction: column;
          flex-direction: column;
          -webkit-align-content: stretch;
          align-content: stretch;
       }
   
       article {
          order: 1;
       }
       #comments {
          order: 2;
       }
       #jp-relatedposts {
          order: 3;
       }
       #nav-below {
          order: 4;
       }
       ```
   
 * Turns into this once the stylesheet is saved:
 *     ```
       /* Flexbox container */
       #content {
          display: -webkit-flex;
          display: flex;
       }
   
       article {
       }
   
       #comments {
       }
   
       #jp-relatedposts {
       }
   
       #nav-below {
       }
       ```
   
 * Big pain in the butt. Why doesn’t the editor just allow you to enter whatever
   properties you want?
