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.

Make the placeholder content draft
While you can easily delete the placeholder content, you can also make it draft – to refer to later.
Rather than deal with each post separately – you can do a bulk edit.
Select the items to edit, select edit, click apply and then change the status to draft. Hit update and you are done.
Bulk editing comes into its own when you have a large number of articles or pages to reassign somae attribute or another – e.g. change the author, recategorise everything, or make the content private.
Rookie errors:
- To launch your website with the placeholder content still in place (actually we have seen this on websites selling professional website services!)
- To edit the placeholder content and forget to change some of the key information (title, date, category, url)
