🎤 Postponed: Carolina Nymark: Full site editing

PLEASE NOTE: We've had to postpone our discussion on full site editing with Carolina Nymark but please join us for our own go at installing the experimental themes!

----

previous description:

When we started developing the default theme for 2020, we had two tasks: build a PHP based theme and a full site editing version. The block-based theme, TT1 Blocks, is still under development.

The two themes are based on the same design, and they both use CSS variables, but in very different ways. Because full site editing themes use HTML files and block markup instead of PHP, the themes are also structurally different.

We will compare the theme structures and discuss some difficulties that theme authors may run into when building and converting block-based themes.

Carolina Nymark is a member of the WordPress Core Team at Yoast.
She is a self-taught developer from Stockholm, Sweden and has been contributing to WordPress and the official theme directory for over ten years.

She is a representative of the http://WordPress.org themes team. She was the Default Theme Development Lead for Twenty Twenty-One, released with WordPress 5.6.

Her main focuses are helping theme authors transition to block-based themes and encouraging them to create more accessible themes.
When she is not thinking about WordPress, she enjoys cross-stitching, gaming, and movies. You can reach Carolina on Twitter:
