What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Mel has been a trusted part of the Bed and BARKfest team for many years, and there’s a reason our clients absolutely love her. She started out with glowing reviews and an incredible ability to connect with every dog she met. From the beginning, it was clear that dog care wasn’t just a job for Mel. It was a calling.
She has since turned that passion into a full-time career. Mel has been working as a professional dog trainer with From the Heart Dog Training for the past two years, bringing a deeper level of knowledge and intention to every interaction with dogs. In addition to her training work, she continues to serve as one of our go-to house sitters and is now also leading our regular Adventure Walks!
With Mel’s training background, she brings confident, knowledgeable leadership to every Adventure Walk, creating a structured pack environment where dogs can safely explore, learn, build confidence, and practice healthy social behaviors. It’s a game-changer for many pups and something our clients are growing to truly appreciate.
When Mel is on a sit, your dog is in for a treat. She knows how to read dogs, understands what helps them thrive, and makes sure they’re not just safe and comfortable, but genuinely happy.
Like all Bed and BARKfest sitters, Mel takes pride in keeping your home clean, secure, and cared for while you’re away. Clients rave about coming home to a peaceful, clean space and a very content dog.
Mel brings it all together. Years of experience, a deep love for dogs, and the professional knowledge to make every visit and walk exceptional. We are lucky to have her, and your pup will be too.
