      2. She is on a free account. Otherwise she could have emailed them directly. Can you explain how she manages then I will just used my facility to ask questions on behalf of her and see what the response is.

        She has a lovely blog.

        What I plan to do is a short video on the paragraph block and another on images. And may be after that you could determine if those are helpful. It is difficult with her being blind, I feel a bit clueless.

        But I can ask on her behalf.

        But might be good to understand what she does now to write a blog post as it might still work the same.

  7. Reblogged this on Wibble and commented:

    For those of you who, like me, have some qualms about using the new ‘Block Editor’, here’s some information from Bella, who points out that there’s a ‘classic block’ we can use in the block editor.

      2. Welcome. I was thinking I was being cheeky linking my blog post. But I know this is a tough time for those facing this change. I do promise you the block editor is great, and one day you will say what was the fuss about. I plan to do some more how to write a basic blog post with block editor, then basic images, and basic audio, so that classic user can feel comfortable fast. Then I plan to do more advance ones may be bi weekly or something.

        This isnt my main blog purpose, but I think it would be helpful to a lot of people. Thanks for reblogging

      3. I don’t think it was ‘cheeky’ at all. The Internet is built on links, and I for one don’t think that anyone should feel awkward about adding them into comments (I’ve even written a post that describes how you can do so in a way that hides the ugly URLs).

        If I may, though, suggest, about your videos: I think you’d do well to make them shorter. I appreciate you’re just learning how to make them, but in the same way that (I think) you need to stop apologising about being ‘cheeky’ about links, you also need to stop apologising in your videos for rambling! 😀
