Howdy! It’s been about three weeks since the last Update post. I have been handicapped a bit. First, by a self-inflicted deep cut into my left thumb with a construction tool, #StitchesRUs. Then a needed vacation with dear friends, which ended in an clumsy sidewalk tumble. I am still working mostly from my couch with an elevated left leg, laptop on a pillow. It’s healing slowly and I hope, I’ll be in good shape when I head out to Portland, OR next week.
Our eNews subscribers received their recommended reading fix with our weekend edition. You, too, can subscribe here. In the meantime, WordPress 5.1 was released. (Field Guide) as well as Gutenberg 5.1.
Mark Uraine keeps us all updated on the progress of Gutenberg Phase 2 and allows you to track the many discussions on Classic Widget Block, Navigation Menus, Section Block, to name a few.
Speaking of Navigation Menu block, Susan Semark from the Research team has been busy and posted a first proposal, an Accessibility Video walk-through and is planning a usability study.
I collected quite a few more links for you, content creators, designers, developers and consultants.
Learn about the mechanics on how to contribute to the Gutenberg development.
Few more blocks for publishing and eCommers, discussions on a future Core Block Manager, reviews of existing Block Collections. Also, find tips and tricks for building blocks as well as for creating themes for the block editor or making them Gutenberg ready.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the collection. — Birgit 💕

Thanks again Birgit for bringing together all things blocks. Qubely and Block CSS caught my eye.
You are welcome! Now that the block editor made it into the Core of WordPress, I find all the smart tools and plugins people develop and push the boundaries of it.
