WordPress’ Gutenberg Editor

Of Mountains & Printing Presses

The goal of this new editor is to make adding rich content to WordPress simple and enjoyable. This whole post is composed of pieces of content—somewhat similar to LEGO bricks—that you can move around and interact with. Move your cursor around and you’ll notice the different blocks light up with outlines and arrows. Press the arrows to reposition blocks quickly, without fearing about losing things in the process of copying and pasting.

What you are reading now is a text block, the most basic block of all. The text block has its own controls to be moved freely around the post…

… like this one, which is right aligned.

Headings are separate blocks as well, which helps with the outline and organization of your content.

A Picture is worth a Thousand Words

Handling images and media with the utmost care is a primary focus of the new editor. Hopefully, you’ll find aspects of adding captions or going full-width with your pictures much easier and robust than before.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil!

I found this nice picture in an Art book. I wish I remember its name, but if you know then please let me know.

Anyway, usually the “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” is illustrated by 3 monkeys. In the painting below, it is illustrated by Bears. That’s why I found it interesting.

According to Wikipedia, there are three differing explanations of the meaning of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”:

  1. In Buddhist tradition, the tenets of the proverb are about not dwelling on evil thoughts.
  2. In the Western world both the proverb and the image are often used to refer to a lack of moral responsibility on the part of people who refuse to acknowledge impropriety, looking the other way or feigning ignorance.
  3. It may also signify a code of silence in gangs, or organized crime.
