WordPress Block Editor: The Ultimate Gutenberg Guide (2020)

Welcome to the era of great WordPress. In this era, you have access to a drag and drop content editor with boundless capabilities. Heck, you can even add drop caps with a simple click!

While reading this, pull up a new WordPress page. Don’t worry about publishing itโ€”this is just for practice. Follow along with the above reading. See if you can harness the power of blocks.

Disclaimer: Don’t download any of the block plugins. For now, you’ve got more than blocks to stack.

As always, just because you can do something, doesn’t always mean you should 1. This is your chance to experiment with all of the blocks, before you dive into anything for a grade. What block do you think will be most useful? What block do you wish you had for your last project?
