One (1) Year of Gutenberg Times, 100 hand-curated Updates since June 2017, the 10th episode of our Live Q & A on YouTube. 45,000 visitors. These are all just numbers.  All that matters is that you are here! Thank you. Leave a comment on any of the posts, and tells me more about yourself! 💕

The web gets really interesting when you can add animation and moving art to it. Now the Block editor can be used as an p5js script editor and provide instant preview. Very cool. Enjoy our conversation with Kim Scotland, Bob Dunn and Kori Asthon about how they converted their sites to the block editor and how businesses can take advantage of the new WordPress visual editor for product and affiliate links.

Our friends, Zac Gordon and Joe Casabona published updated or new courses for you. Take advantage of their discounts! Gutenberg is also the topic of three WPCampus sessions. Morten Rand-Hendrickson teaches you how to extend your Themes for the block editor.

And again, Blocks Galore. Cool blocks for your blogs, and great tips for developing plugins and themes for the block editor.
