    Image Management

    Many website users struggle with images, even those that have managed a website for years. Here’s some straightforward things you can do to make your photo publishing weblife easier.

    The image block is easy to use as is the gallery block. If you must combine text and images and want it to look the part use a pattern. Simply start a new para and /im will get the image block up.

    In the world of classic editing creating anything complicated become quickly very hard. Now it is easy enough to take a ready made block pattern and adapt it to your needs. But most of time just using a featured image (as shown above) will do.

    Avoid using classic unless you are desperate for the limited retro editing experience.

    Hello Twenty Twenty One!

    Prematurely, Twenty Twenty One is here!!! It is the new WordPress theme and, naturally, supports WordPress Blocks (since Twenty Nineteen most WP themes should). Once you get the hang of Layout Editing with blocks, you should find they are great, especially for designing bespoke pages which need to look properly laid out. It is also quite easy to make your page look bad too, so keep your block layouts as simple as possible – this page you are reading is a good example of poor layout.

    Twenty Twenty One

    Is our new default theme, i.e. when you fire up a new site.

    By all means upgrade to Twenty Twenty Two, if that feels right for you or you fear being left out of the full site editing experience, but we’re old fashioned and prefer the old world editing experience and the traditional customizer – with blocks and block patterns thrown in. In other words the best of the old and the new.

    If you have just created a brand new site, don’t edit these pages – delete them instead and start afresh – or spend a little time familiarising yourself with what is possible, the different post types, and examples of block arrangements or layouts and then delete them.
