Here’s the tenth weekly roundup of theme-related discussions, fixes, and developments in GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. [https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/). Now that we’ve been through about two months of these updates, we’d really love to hear whether they’ve been helpful or not for you. Please feel free to leave any thoughts or suggestions in the comments below.  We have a great new resource to feature this week! [@poena](https://profiles.wordpress.org/poena/) contributed an excellent tutorial on creating your first blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.-based theme. You can find that in the block-editor handbook here:  > [Creating a block-based theme](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/tutorials/block-based-themes/) Since conversations are ongoing, some of the issues & PRs mentioned below were also present in previous weeks.
