Gutenberg + Themes: Week of Jan 11, 2021

Hello! This is the 34th 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/.

Before we begin, I’d like to note that the experimental, 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 version of the Twenty Twenty-One theme (named TT1 Blocks) is now live in the theme repository:

TT1 Blocks

Development is ongoing, alongside the full-site editing work in Gutenberg. Please test, contribute, and help build this and other themes in the WordPress Theme Experiments GitHub repository.
