Block Editor tips

by

After the event…

Well the talk is over and several attendees asked about the links I showed in my presentation. The WP Block Editor is now an established part of the WordPress package. It is improving all the time and there is still plenty of online discussion as to the merits of the Block Editor in comparison to the Classic Editor and the Page Builder offerings such as Elementor, Divi and Beaver Builder.

Discussions about how — and why! — to use the Block Editor can be found here…

Make sure you check out the dates of some these discussion groups. Some have not aged well!

In addition, I identified some practice tools that allow you to get used to the Block Editor without anyone looking over your shoulder. MAMP, WAMP and XAMP are well known in this area but I find that Local is easier to implement and Frontenberg is a useful tool for trying things out too.

WP Glasgow MeetUp online

by

Yes we’re going to be online again. And keeping it simple

This time you are all invited to take a tour of Tim Nash (WordPress Platform Lead at 34SP.com)’s personal site.

Find out what Plugins he uses, his Theme, workflow. From how he publishes a post to keeping things updated and fast. Tim will spill the beans over a virtual cup of tea on all the secrets to his site.

There should be plenty of time for questions.

Come on! You’ve spent lots of time looking over the shoulders of online celebs and journos to see what their houses are like… here’s a chance to have a good ol’ nose around Tim’s website and to see how it’s put together.
The online link will be published on the day for all those who RSVP. Come and join us. This is ‘back to basics’ WordPress so there is always lots to learn.
