Online WordPress Portsmouth Meetup - Gutenberg - the block editor
Details
🗣️ WHAT’S HAPPENING?
Join the WordPress Portsmouth Meetup on 21st October to learn about Gutenberg - the block editor - from Belinda Mustoe.
A CONTENT CREATOR'S GUIDE TO THE BLOCK EDITOR
The new Gutenberg editor gives content creators more freedom to create layouts without programming knowledge. However there is still a steep learning curve on how to use the block editor efficiently. Belinda will be providing an overview of the block editor in WordPress 5.5 as well as answering any questions on how to use the block editor with your site.
The event starts at 7pm BST (6pm UTC). We will be providing a Zoom link for you to connect to the online Meetup.
To get the link, please register to attend this #OnlineWPMeetup.
