This week, I collected a great array of useful information for just using Gutenberg and finding blocks for your content creation process. See a VR (Virtual Reality) image block in action, find blocks in a public directory and read more about using Gutenberg for your storefront. Also, some voices from users and their successful transition to Gutenberg for content creation or revamp of their websites. I also found a few secret tips for power users. The next version 3.7 will come out tomorrow. Help testing the pre-release and grab the zip file from the Test Make Blog.

`/` slash command to insert a block
`>` to start a quote directly,
`#` to start a heading,
`1.` to start an ordered list
`-` to start a list.
brought to you by @altjoen
## gives you a H2 heading, ### an H3 Heading
1. + space starts an ordered list.
The forward-slash command for triggering new blocks in #Gutenberg is 🔥! As the inventory of third-party blocks grows, I'm looking forward to dropping in all sorts of goodies with a quick /[whatever] 🤘 #wordpress
