Copy Writing images

Starting with the 2022 and 2023 themes, changing up my themes has been… interesting… 2024 also overwrites quite a few things.

I know this may seem weird, but I’m not using Divi on this site. I decided to give WordPress and their Gutenberg project a little love and try out the default themes to see if they can impress me. So far I don’t love this, but as I learned how to do things like change the cover image to full width, it started to grow on me. Later themes dipped into patterns and an editing mode that has been pretty glitchy. I’ll keep trying, but you’ll know I’ve given up if the site starts using Divi one day…  

Switching from the 2021 to the 2022 theme was a mess. The 2023 theme went minimalist (Changing page title behavior was a pain. It involved editing the page template, and it didn’t stick the first time around.). This is now the 2024 theme and I have to rebuild the site footer again, plus figure out how to rebuild my blogs page, tweak hero images, and mess with the footer. Finding and editing menus has been interesting…

Below are a few block types:

Widget Blocks, okay, skepticism receding… shortcode is powerful

The site editor is a bit buggy. The footer I changed in the beta editor was reverting to the “proudly powered by…” text instead of my copyright and link. Not a fan so far. You will be clearing your cache on a regular basis.

Some of the toolbar changes for blocks are easier to work with. There is actually some formatting available for image captions, which is nice.
