Recent versions of WordPress have a new “blocks” “blocks” feature that will style the appearance of your posts according to the block you select. Basically, if you plan to post an image, you will probably prefer a layout that best accommodates your image. The same goes for videos, quotes, links, etc. Specific format options are optimized for displaying different types of content. Changing the block will not change the content of a post; it will only affect how users see it. You must be using a theme that has this feature enabled to use “block.” If you have a relevant theme activated, some of the blocks you may see on the right sidebar when editing a post include:
- cover: A cover image for your post, over which you can write text.
- gallery: A gallery of images.
- list: A bulleted list of items.
- image: A single image.
- quote: A quotation.
- paragraph: A block of text.
- video: A single video.
- audio: An audio file.
- file: A file you can upload from your computer.
A full list of the different types of blocks that can be used is listed on WordPress' documentation page.
Blocks now include options to add more sophisticated content, such as calendar and RSS widgets, and embedding Twitter posts, TED Talks, Hulu videos, Slideshare presentations, and much more. You can rearrange blocks on your post by simply hovering over the left-hand side, clicking the dots, and dragging around the block.
