Working with WordPress Part 2: How to Build and Edit Page Content Using Blocks

Beginning to create or edit a WordPress website? Create simple, intuitive pages by understanding how to use blocks.

A block is the foundational unit of content in the WordPress Editor. You can add blocks for text, images, video, audio, columns, tables,  buttons, galleries, and more.

As a front-end developer who frequently builds WordPress sites, I’ve created several short video tutorials to walk you through the basics. These step-by-step guides will help you customize your site using the WordPress editor, without requiring any coding knowledge. In Part 1, I show you how to create a page on a WordPress site, preview your page, schedule a publish date, and more—all while getting comfy with the editor options and settings in the block editor workspace.

In this five-minute video, you’ll learn how to add blocks, save time by using patterns, get comfortable using different types of blocks, and edit the position, form, and stylings of blocks. 

Ready? Let’s go.
