6,595 PointsFlexbox Only Affect Unordered Lists and List Items?
I was trying to work with Flexbox and thought I could control divs. But do they have to be list items? Never mind I failed to keep going in my track. :) But still anyone have advice about how to treat flexbox?

7,361 PointsFlexbox is a really powerful way to start working with CSS layouts. It might seem difficult to start with but it is a very new technology and once it has matured a bit I am sure it will become the primary method for CSS Layouts in web design so stick with it, it will pay off.
A couple of quick points that I hope mate it clear for you:
There are two components to a Flexbox layout - the Flexbox itself and the Flex Items inside the Flexbox. The Flexbox is the container that holds the flex items and the flex items are the things you want to be layed out flexibly.
Anything can be a flex item, Li's, Ul's, Images, Divs, they just have to be put inside a parent element that is a Flexbox.
