How to Build User Profiles With Fields in Drupal 8
By default, a Drupal 8 user account collects only very basic information about the user.
And, most of that information is not visible to visitors or other users on the site.
Fortunately, Drupal makes it easy to modify and expand this profile so that people can add useful information about themselves such as their real name (versus a username), address, employer, URLs, biography, and more.

How to Create a Search Box with a Sliding Effect in Drupal 8
One of OSTrainings members asked how to create a search box with a sliding out effect. Their goal was to arrive at the search box similar to the one you can find at the top of Drupal's own website.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a search box that expands once you clicked on its icon. Also, while it stays expanded until you close it, it will keep blurring out your main menu.
