Example Post Showing Block Editor ("Gutenberg") Styling

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.

Here is some bold text.

Here is some italic text.

Here is some underlined text.

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 need to 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

Image captions are tied to images themselves, adding context for search engines and your visitors!

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.

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.

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

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

Quotes

Blockquotes are a great way to emphasize an important piece of your content.

You can also turn the blockquote into a citation by providing a "citation". This is a great way to reference content on another site.

Overlay Block

This is a "cover" block - an image block with text overlay
