Ride Along: How To Switch From a Classic To Block Theme

The WordPress 5.9 release has arrived--are you ready to unleash the full power of full site editing?

If you're used to editing your website using classic themes and are curious about making the move to a block theme, this is the social learning space for you!

During this hour-long session, ride along with me as I convert my classic-theme hobby blog to a block-based theme.

During this session, we will...
-Make a backup of my active site & copy it to a local installation to experiment
-Search for and select a block-based theme to install

Without using the customizer, together, we will learn how to...
-Create a header image
-Create a navigation menu
-Set the home page to display latest blog posts
-Explore a variety of full site editing settings

I've built a website using full site editing before, but have not yet tried converting an existing one with a classic theme to a block based theme that utilized the power of full site editing; let's go on an adventure and learn about this together!
