Ever felt lost when trying to make your WordPress site look just right? I get it. The old editor was a bit of a headache.
Enter Gutenberg, WordPress’s game-changing block editor.
The Gutenberg Revolution
Gutenberg isn’t just a fancy name. It’s a whole new way to build your website.
Think of it like playing with Lego. Each piece of content is a block. You stack ’em, move ’em, and style ’em how you want.
