WordPress Gutenberg Editor: What You Need To Know And What You Can Do About It

By |2019-01-04T23:00:59+00:00January 4th, 2019|I Heart Blank News, WWW News|Comments Off on WordPress Gutenberg Editor: What You Need To Know And What You Can Do About It

I've had a few people ask me about the new Gutenberg Editor in Wordpress 5.0.  Some people, including me, are a little skeptical and some people are diving right in.  Change can sometimes be hard, so I thought I'd put together some explanation of what's going on as well as some troubleshooting solutions to the new Gutenberg Editor. What is the deal with Gutenberg?! (in your best Seinfeld voice) Wordpress introduced the “Gutenberg” editor on the last release Wordpress 5.0 'Bebo'.  You can read my post about it (a quick overview) or check out the new features on Wordpress' Blog (a [...]

By |2018-12-07T16:17:06+00:00December 7th, 2018|WWW News|Comments Off on WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” Released

Great news everyone!  Wordpress 5.0 "Bebo" was released yesterday!  The biggest change this is bringing to WordPress is the new editor!  In the past, I would describe the WordPress WYSIWYG editor as basically MS Word '97 (probably the last time I used MS Word.) The new 'block editor' is is going to make creating content in Wordpress way easier.  Although there are plenty of plugins that have a 'visual composer', this block editor will be similar to how some of the 'other' website builders work (eg - Squarespace, wix, etc.).  Here's a quick video: Here's a blurb from WordPress's [...]

By |2017-11-28T22:21:07+00:00November 22nd, 2017|I Heart Blank News, WWW News|Comments Off on What Is Net Neutrality & Why You Should Fight For It!

There will be a vote on December 14, 2017 in which the FCC will attempt to kill net neutrality.  A lot of people seem to be against it, but don't know what's really going on.  I thought I'd put together a post to help explain what's going on and what you can do.
