Quick and Dirty (New WP Editor)

This, is just a short (or hopefully short) instruction on how to at least get your posting done, using the new WordPress editor. I have been using it since shortly after the initial beta release. It has improved, but as with all new things, it will take some getting used to.

I’m not following the click this, click that, method, but showing you the shortcuts you can use, so you can get to posting without spending hours on trying to find all the cute options scattered throughout. Are you ready? Lets go!

I hope this helps someone get started with simple posting. Comments always welcome.

Is it just me? Or do some proofreaders have a fourth-grade education.

While researching a subject for a future post, I came across a website that offers to proofread your content. While reading the long list of virtues for the grammar checking tool, I immediately thought of my sweet friend Ellie, our grammar cop.

The entire page extolled the benefits of using their service. Problem is, it appears they use it as well. I only grabbed a very small sampling. We all know, I am not a grammar scholar, so I ask you to see if I am in desperate need of caffeine, or this proofreader is actually “A few fries short, of a Happy Meal”.

More time is wasted with me correcting my spell checker. I typed illegal immigrants the other day, and it suggested to me, it was not proper, and suggested undocumented or unidentified. There must have been some backlash for forcing political correctness, as it no longer appears now.

The world, is just in too big of a hurry. Do you have problems with your proofreading software?

Modifying (adding color) a text header, in Gutenberg.

Example below.

One poor fellow, used fast-forward

I’m known for the distinction, of having produced one of the most boring videos, on how to add a graphic to your text in Gutenberg. One poor fellow, used fast-forward, to avoid falling asleep before learning how to add the graphic. It’s true, looking back it was a horrible video. I hope to add smaller, more concise videos here, on things that beginner users to Gutenberg, may find helpful.

Share your tips or shortcuts that you may have, for Gutenberg.

Gutenberg’s logic, escapes me.

How many of you are using the Gutenberg editor. I have been using it for a few months now. I have watched it with fascination. While it goes through iterations of changes, like food through a goose. Like many, I feel it was rushed out as the new editor, sometimes even unusable for some projects. It has matured more, but there are things that still leave me scratching my head. The mobile app for it was not even ready for prime time, when they released the editor to the masses.

How many of you are using it? Are you having trouble with figuring out how to do something? I have had a few things crop up

How to add a graphic to your post, and wrap the text around it, is not intuitive for new users.
Also, for some odd reason, and I admit I don’t know how long it has been changed, but to schedule a post for publishing later, has changed from a simple task, to one that makes no sense at all.
Before, you had a blue “edit” link next to the schedule label, this let you set when you wanted to publish your post. Now that is gone, and the only option you see is “immediately”.

I’m sorry. If I want to publish something tomorrow, at a certain time, Immediately is not the option I would comfortably click on. What in heavens name, was wrong with leaving the edit link. But I guess they thought it was less cluttered, and we could read their minds.

So now, you click immediately, even though your not wanting to publish it at the moment, and it brings up a window to set the date and time in the future. Is that logical?

Maybe it’s just me. The new editor is getting better, but still a long way to go. Oh, and while we are here. Anyone know how to change one word, or selected words to a different color? All I get it to do, is change ALL the text in the block to the color.
