Is Gutenberg Making You Feel Like A Blockhead?

by Debra Scott

Minecraft block person

I have to admit I was a bit flummoxed by the new Gutenberg editor. I’ve been using WordPress for many, many years what’s this new fangled unnecessary change? Get it off my lawn!

Turns out I really like it… I mean I really really like it.

Is there a wee bit of a learning curve? Sure. Not a steep one though. Pretty soon ordinary posting seems so – well ordinary.

As Gutenberg grows more blocks are becoming available. Atomic Blocks is a must have. They have created some stellar block choices and if you are feeling adventurous, they even have a block based theme available on WordPress.org themes.

Want some sharing buttons? Done!

How about an accordion box?

cool eh?

How about a block with text over image? Yep that too!

These are just a couple of the many blocks available to make your posting and theme set up easier.

So don’t worry jump right in and let’s make being a blockhead a good thing!
