iThemes Webinar: Creating Stunning Layouts with Image Blocks
A big wall of text scares people on the Internet. Great featured images will draw them in. Break up the text with some visual clues and graphics. There are probably more reasons why it’s important to learn and review how you can work with images in WordPress.
The new block editor gives you so many more options to display and combinations to create a post or a page. It can be overwhelming.
In this webinar, Birgit will explain how to use which block in which scenario and the various options for display and how to make your layout great on mobile screen.
