Why Now Is The Time To Pull Up My ‘Big Boy’ Trousers’ About My Blog

Have you heard of the saying, ‘Don’t put off today what can be done tomorrow’? I should tell myself that more often because tomorrow becomes tomorrow, and that tomorrow becomes another tomorrow. Before you know it, weeks, months or even years have passed you by, and you still haven’t done what you were putting off until tomorrow.

Last week, after visiting some blogs, I asked myself, ‘Why haven’t I done what they have done yet?’ And the simple and truthful answer was ‘Because of me.’ But what am I referring to?

‘What if?’ moments. Do you ever have them?

A ‘What if’ moment is those moments in life when you believe something is holding you back from doing something you know needs to be done, but you have doubts about it. The problem is that it isn’t the doubts that are holding you back.

The ‘What if’ moment I’ve been having has lasted for the best part of two years.

‘What if changing the theme of my blog from Classic to Block causes problems?’

Given that thousands of other bloggers have done it, I know that, while problems may occur, they can be resolved!

When WordPress introduced the Block Editor, which now seems like many years ago, I disliked it and did everything I could to avoid giving it a chance. I fought myself, declaring I’ll never use it and that I hated the change. And there was my downfall – ‘change.’ I wasn’t willing to accept it.

Then another blogger said in one of her posts, ‘The Block Editor isn’t hard to use; it’s just different.’ That got me thinking, and it was not long before I realised that the reason I didn’t like the change was that I hadn’t set aside any time to read tutorials and watch them, and to give the Block editor a try.

It wasn’t long before I was telling myself that trying out the Block Editor was like switching up from black-and-white to colour television.

Why then has it taken me so long to begin the switch from a Classic to a Block theme? The answer to that question is ‘Me.’ What if something goes wrong? What if I break my blog? What if all my posts disappear? What if my blog disappears without a trace?’ Why if, what if, what if?

The problem with all those questions is that they are not problems. They are excuses. Excuses to stop myself from making changes. And I have found in life that change opens new doors and brings new opportunities. And that’s what switching to using the Block editor did.

But why fix what’s not broken?

I hear people say, ‘Why fix what’s not broken?’ But nobody is fixing anything. All websites have to keep up with technological changes; they would lose many paying customers if they didn’t adapt. It’s paying customers who keep companies alive by buying their products or services, allowing some users to use the site for free.

Now, replace the question ”Why fix what’s not broken?’ with, ‘Why update what is not broken?’ You now have your answer.

Not all WordPress users are lucky enough to have had a choice between a Classic and a Block editor. Many have never known anything but the Block Editor, and they all seem to be doing a great job. However, did you know that the Block editor includes a Classic block that allows users to use the Classic editor?

What’s about to happen on my blog?

Over the next few weeks, you may notice a few changes with my blog as I switch from a Classic to a Block theme. If you notice anything wrong, please let me know, so I can resolve it. There’s plenty of support available on WordPress when you take the time to find it. Part of the excitement for me is choosing a new theme, but another reason I am making the switch is that I gain access to many more blogging tools and options, many of which help users save time.

Finally, I’m pleased to say I’ve changed concerns into excitement. I’m no longer allowing change to stop me from moving ahead on my blogging journey. I want my blog to become part of today’s technology, rather than remain stuck in yesterday’s.

This is my final post using a Classic theme on my blog. Bear with me while I make the changes to a Block theme. Hopefully, it won’t be long before I see you on the other side.

Have you changed the theme of your WordPress blog from Classic to Block? Did you encounter any problems? What were they, and how did you resolve them?

I thought a little more about blogging and why I have hardly pursued this passion for a few years now. 🙄

WordPress and the introduction of its "block editor" called Gutenberg definitely play a significant role in this. 🤬

Since then, I have been avoiding anything related to WordPress, and blogging on the go with the app of the same name has been a nightmare for me anyway, so it no longer exists on my smartphone.

However, I still write on the internet. 😀

For quite some time now, I've been using my Mastodon instance, although it's not quite what I want yet, but better than nothing! 😉

Ich habe noch ein bisschen weiter nachgedacht, über diese Thematik des Bloggen für mich und wieso ich seit ein paar Jahren kaum noch dieser Leidenschaft nachgehe. 🙄

Definitiv hat WordPress sowie die Einführung dessen "Block Editor" namens Gutenberg eine wesentliche Mitschuld daran. 🤬

Denn seither meide ich regelrecht alles mit WordPress und das bloggen von unterwegs mit der gleichnamigen App ist sowieso ein Graus für mich gewesen und daher nicht mehr existent auf meinem Smartphone.

In das Internet schreiben, das mache ich jedoch immer noch. 😀

Seit geraumer Zeit durch meine Instanz von Mastodon, obgleich das noch nicht so ganz dass ist was ich will, besser als nichts jedoch alle mal! 😉

Individuelle Stileinstellungen für individuelle Elemente könnten so einfach sein: Den Selektor über die Block-Selector-API in der block.json definieren, für den die Stile aktiv sein sollen. Aber leider funktioniert das so nicht. Wenn du möchtest, dass der Stil bei einem individuellen Element innerhalb deines Blocks greift und nicht für den Block als Ganzes, musst du das manuell implementieren. Glücklicherweise hat Aki Hamanono das „Wie“ auf GitHub geteilt.

[…]

Custom styling settings for custom elements could be so easy: use the block selector API to define the selector where the styles should apply and enable the applicable styles in the block.json. But unfortunately, it doesn’t work this way. If you need to apply styling to a custom element inside your block and not the surrounding element, you need to implement it manually. Luckily, Aki Hamano shared a how-to on GitHub.

🎩✨ Ah, the age-old quest to reinvent the wheel because modern apps are just too darn slow, according to the tech prophets who believe in the gospel of #Qt #C++ and #QML. 🚀✨ Apparently, creating a cross-platform, "native-like" block editor from scratch is the only way to show those lazy web apps who's boss. 🙄💡

Das WordPress-Core-Team hat zum Jahresausklang zwei lange Blogbeiträge mit einem Vorausblick auf das Jahr 2026 veröffentlicht.

Hier eine kleine Zusammenfassung der für Einsteiger wichtigsten Neuerungen.

Dominik Liss interviewt in der 80. Folge seines Podcasts Birgit Pauli-Haack (@bph) von der Gutenberg Times und sie diskutieren unter anderem die Frage Wie weit ist Gutenberg in 2026.

Quick tip when you need to add custom CSS with the block editor on individual blocks:

Use the is() pseudo-class function to target specific elements which have the block class applied.

`h2&` won't work, but `&:is(h2)` will.

Frage | Wordpress Block-Editor, wie wird fetter Text wirklich fett?

Ich sitze gerade an einer Wordpress Installation in der der Block-Editor verwendet wird. Nun ist mein Problem aber das als fett markierte Schrift fast genauso wie nicht als fett markierte Schrift aussieht. Soll das so? denn dann bräuchte es keine Funktion für Fettschrift. Oder ist das ein Bug? Wisst Ihr wie man ihn beheben kann? Den ich würde die fette Schrift durchaus gerne dafür nutzen etwas hervorzuheben.

Danke für Eure Hilfe im Voraus. 😀

Einer der besseren Beiträge zu Alt-Texten in WordPress, mit dem Fokus auf Block-Editor.

Besonders schön beschrieben wird der Unterschied zwischen dem Einfügen des Alt-Textes in der Mediathek und dem Block-Editor.

I just added an issue to the #Gutenberg repo to improve responsive layouts made with the #WordPress #BlockEditor. What’s your opinion on it?

Dreimal H1 ist suboptimal

Ein Leser namens Marius hat uns daraufhin hingewiesen, dass es auf dieser Website jede Seite drei H1-Überschriften hat.

In diesem Beitrag zeige ich, warum das keine gute Idee ist und wie man das in einem Block-Theme ganz einfach korrigieren kann.

Vielen Dank an Marius für den Hinweis.

Also ich mit dem gesamten Inhalt des Block-Editors arbeitete, bemerkte ich etwas merkwürdiges: Der getBlocks()-Selektor gab mir nicht zwingend den aktuellen Inhalt des Editors zurück. Deshalb schaute ich, wieso das so war und wie man das korrigieren kann.

When working with the whole content of the block editor, I noticed something odd: the getBlocks() selector does not necessarily return the current content of the editor. Let’s check why and how to correct it.

Globale Einstellungen von Blöcken bei Block Themes habe ich leider häufig übersehen. Man kann z. B. die Schriftgröße, Farben, Innen- und Außenabstände, zusätzliches CSS bei bestimmten Blöcken wie z. B. dem Button-Block direkt über den Website-Editor ändern. Diese Einstellungen gelten dann für die komplette Website. Wie das funktioniert, erläutere ich in dem folgenden Beitrag.

In einem vorherigen Beitrag habe ich dargestellt, wie man in Templates beim Content Block dafür sorgen kann, dass die Option „Ausrichtung“ zur Verfügung steht. Ein ähnliches Problem hat man bei dem Gruppe-Block. Auch hier ist die Darstellung von Inhalten mit verschiedenen Breiten in Gruppen nicht einfach einzurichten. Darum geht es in diesem Beitrag.
