Episode 16 - Unlocking the Power of WordPress Blocks 22:06

2 years fa22:06

22:06

WordPress blocks have come a long way since Gutenberg was first released as part of WordPress 5.0 in 2018. Today, the focus is on styling and editing blocks, and using blocks for all parts of a site, not just the content area. This includes block patterns, block templates and template parts, and the theme.json configuration file. In this episode of Delicious Brain Waves, we’re joined by special guest Nick Diego, a Senior Developer Advocate at WP Engine, a WordPress core contributor, and self-confessed “block evangelist.” We discuss WordPress blocks, the history of the Gutenberg Project, how it led to Full Site Editing, now called the Site Editor, and the ongoing resistance to using WordPress blocks.

They discuss their history with Linux operation systems, the reasons why they love developing software on Linux, the pros and cons of using Linux, and share some tips and advice to those considering a change.
