Build a blog with WordPress 6.2: A new release preview

Have you ever wanted to build a blog with WordPress, but weren't sure where to start?

Do you want to get familiar with new block themes' site editing features?

Or, are you already familiar with WordPress and want to see what's changing with the 6.2 release?

If so, this online workshop is for you!

Join Host Sarah Snow and Co-Host Kathryn Presner as they explore how to build a blog with some of the newest features coming to WordPress on March 28th.

We will briefly touch on...

• The fundamentals of building a blog with an eye toward new features coming to WordPress
• How to access these new features before the March 28th release

As we build a blog of our very own, we will explore the following features:

• Utilizing the WordPress Stylebook
• New ways of adding beautifully designed patterns
• Adding open source images directly from the site editor
• Sticky headers and footers
• "Pushing" color options and styles such as text formatting from a block to your global website
• And post display options

Want to build with us?
If you'd like to follow along with us and experiment with building a blog alongside the demo, please make sure to set up a playground ahead of time.

Suggestion: Use a free local environment such as XAMPP, MAMP, or Local. We will be using Local by Flywheel for the demo.
