Update #97 Using WordPress Block Editor Starting Gutenberg Phase 2, Building Blocks and more

Happy Holidays !
Peace and Understanding around the World!

So WordPress 5.0.2 came out with massive performance improvements to the block editor especially for posts with many, many blocks. I tested it here on a post with 94 blocks and it was wrap speed compared to before. Hat Tip to the Dev Team!
I ordered 2 sets of the Gutenblox.fun Jenga issued by XWP. All proceeds go to the WordPress Foundation. Marcus Kazmierczak of the Documentation team published a tutorial for programmers to get started on WordPress JavaScript. Join us next week for the next Gutenberg Times Live Q & A. Discover more news below.

Hopefully you can fully unplug and be with your families and friends. Be present, be in the moment, look up! — Yours, Birgit 💕

Blocks, blocks, block #280Blocks

One of the most powerful features of the #Gutenberg block editor is block transforms. My new plugin, Block Gallery, takes advantage of transforms so folks can easily morph one gallery into another — with just one click. 🤓

Inspired by @_developit's HTM (Hyperscript Tagged Markup), here's how you can create Gutenberg editor blocks using a JSX-like syntax without requiring a build step. Enqueue the source JS file directly in WordPress, just like in the olden days: https://t.co/8HUpkd9hWE
