Confused about the difference between Reusable Blocks, Block Patterns, and Synced Patterns? This article in Smashing Magazine walks through the name and functionality changes.

Anne McCarthy demos some minor writing flow improvements coming in WordPress 6.4: captured toolbars, improved List block, and a couple of new keyboard shortcuts.

This is an interesting resource. It has Gutenberg-related stats from WordPress.com and sites running JetPack. I don’t want to ruin your Friday, but the Spacer Block is used more often than the Button Block.

The Block Visibility plugin is fantastic for conditional display options in Gutenberg. Highly recommended.

CSScrafter is a collection of CSS snippets that you can easily apply to Gutenberg blocks.

Jamie Marsland hosted Kevin Geary in a discussion about Gutenberg and Page Builders. It is a wide-ranging and very interesting talk.

The Roadmap to 6.4 has been published and man is it full of features. There are plans for core font library functionality, new blocks, image lightbox, building out theme.json for spacing presets, a box shadow component, a new Twenty Twenty four theme, enhancements to the Query Loop Block, the Footnote Block, rollback option for theme and plugin automatic updates, foundational work on Phase 3, and more.

When I saw the headline I thought that the message was going to be to tailor your tech stack to the type of site. I was wrong. This looks to be a sales piece for their potential customers to convince them to use Gutenberg and not a page builder. There are some inaccuracies, like about Beaver Builder, but also they totally gloss over the need for custom development, which a page builder might not require. In any event, WebDevStudios is a large agency, so it is interesting to see what they are doing.
