The Block Editor in WordPress (also called the Gutenberg Editor) is the modern content editor used to create pages and posts by adding and arranging “blocks.”
🔹 What does “block” mean?
A block is an individual content element. Instead of writing everything in one text area, you build your page using separate pieces like:
- Paragraphs
- Headings
- Images
- Buttons
- Galleries
- Videos
- Columns
Each of these is a block you can move, style, and customize independently.
🔹 How it works
- You click “+” (Add Block)
- Choose a block type (text, image, etc.)
- Customize it (color, size, spacing, alignment)
- Drag and rearrange blocks to design your layout
🔹 Why it’s useful
- Visual editing: You see a close preview of your design while building
- No coding needed: Great for beginners
- Flexible layouts: Create sections, columns, and designs easily
- Reusable blocks: Save designs and reuse them across pages
🔹 Example (for your portfolio idea)
You could build a page like:
- Hero section → Image block
- About you → Text block
- Your artworks → Gallery block
- Custom orders → Button block
- Testimonials → Quote block
🔹 Block Editor vs Classic Editor
- Block Editor: Drag-and-drop, modern, visual
- Classic Editor: One big text box (like MS Word)
