So how are you getting on with the blocks? There is a lot you can do with blocks, apparently, I have not actually done much myself yet, so DO NOT use this as an instructional post. This is what most of us have achieved so far. Yes, giving a paragraph a background colour and this seems to be the most popular colour; reminds me of hospital curtains.
But yellow is a bit bright…
…and purple too dark.
and grey too boring.
Perhaps this is more fun and let’s change the colour of the words.
How are your eyes?
Let’s have some pictures. So far I have only made them round and small.
But I could click on to Patterns and see what happens.
I have just learned how to put three pictures in a row, except I have ended up with six in different sizes. Never mind, Salisbury is a lovely place to visit. If you think you may have seen these pictures before that is because my media library is full and I repurpose most of my photos.
You can click on to patterns for words
and you might end up with this.
If this post gets any smaller it might disappear altogether.
Do not try this at home.

I’ve never even tried the blocks, and judging by some of these backgrounds I don’t think I ever will 😂

Tried blocks and they turned my blog into a nightmare of misaligned text and lost posts that has taken me days to put back together again after the Happiness Engineers and I didn’t seem to be sharing a common language.

Yes I published one of my posts and a paragraph had turned into a string of letters hanging down the side of a picture. I managed to get back in and edit it.

I think most of us are creatures of habit. I’ve done very little experimenting with blocks.

I am happy sticking with the old. The options for photographs and colours are so much easier to follow.

I agree Brigid – I ‘pressed the button’ to try the new and can’t get back again!
