Learn the best practices for optimizing images!

This is a demo post exploring the different styles in the block editor (codenamed "Gutenberg"). This is just a development post - we haven't yet released this publicly.

This is an H2

Most of your content should be contained in H2 subheadings.

In version 4.0.0 and later, body font-sizes have been standardized across all themes at 16px. Headings have been standardized using "em", meaning a multiple of the 16px body-font size.

For more details, see this blog post.

This is an H3

H3 can be used to sub-categorize your content under H2 headings. You typically won't use these when making recipes posts.

This is an H4

H4 is relatively uncommon, except in technical documentation. As a food blogger, anything you consider using for H4 should be either bumped up to H3, or simple paragraph text.

This is an H5

No real application for this outside of technical and legal documents.

This is an H6

Why even bother at this point?

Simple Image Block

We do not recommend using image captions.

New Gallery Block

We don't recommend using the gallery block due to poor accessibility support.

Instead, use the WordPress-core "columns" block and insert normal images into the columns:

Columns

inserting a column block in the WordPress editor

When inserting columns, you'll be given the choice of different default column widths.

For a similar mobile and desktop experience, use 50/50 for normal page layouts (720 / 2 = 360), and 33/33/33 for full-width page layouts (1080 / 3 = 360).

Mobile is the most important, making up approximately 75% of pageviews for most food blogs in 2018 and on.

Process shots

For process shots, you can stack an image and text:

Instruction #4

Make sure to leave "stack on mobile" enabled in the columns block:

Step 1: Combine all spices into a large bowl and combine thoroughly with mixture

Step 2: Form into ball shape with your hands

Step 3: Press into patties

Step 4: Cook in oven for x minutes at 400 degrees

Step 5: Remove and add to serving plate

Step 6: Assemble and serve!

Here's an example that's not stacked on mobile:

Instruction #4

Fractions

The Feast Plugin contains an enhancement to convert text-based characters to fractions, so that you get ½ instead of 1 / 2 and ¼ instead of 1 / 4.

Acronyms

The Feast Plugin contains an enhancement to convert recipe acronyms to improve screen reader accessibility, so that it reads the word teaspoon instead of "tee ess pee" and tablespoon instead of "tee bee ess pee".

Unordered List

This is an unordered list block
This is the second item in the list
Use unordered lists to create lists in which the sequence isn't important

2-columns:

This is an unordered list block
This is the second item in the list
This is the third item in the list
This is the fourth item in the list
This only shows on desktop
Mobile becomes single-column

3-columns:

Ordered List

This is an ordered list block
It's good to itemize sequential steps or items in an ordered list
Using lists to break up your content and make it easier to parse is a good user-experience practice

Ingredients

200 g Steak flat iron
3 stalks Green Onion
24 g Beef Pho Concentrate
1 Lime
¼ cup Basil fresh
1 cup Cilantro
1 Chilli Pepper
454 g Bean Sprouts
200 g Vermicelli brown rice
14 g Sriracha Sauce
14 g Hoisin Sauce

Instructions

Plastic wrap the flat iron steak and stick it in the freezer to harden up (it shouldn't freeze) and make it easier to slice
Thinly slice the green onions and chili pepper, cut lime into wedges, and roughly chip the cilantro and basil
Prepare the broth by combining the pho concentrate with 4 cups of water and bringing the mixture to boil, then reducing to simmer
Remove the flat iron steak from the freeze and cut into thin slices, following the grain. Add steak slices to serving bowl.
Bring another pot of water to boil, add vermicelli and cook for 3 minutes (or until tender), then strain.
Add the noodles to the serving bowl with beef, top with bean sprouts, and pour the simmering hot broth on top of everything. The beef should cook within a few minutes, and will be done when it's no longer red.
Add the green onions, chili pepper, basil and cilantro as desired, and add lime.
The soup can then be flavored with as much or as little sriracha and hoisin sauce as desired.

Notes

Traditionally, the broth is made from beef bone marrow, but to save time we'll use a concentrate.

The time it takes to cook the vermicelli depends on whether you're using thin or thick, but will generally by 3-5 minutes and can be done right at the end.
