Wow, trying to add a post to the only WordPress blog I have that's using blocks.
The new edition of WP manages to be even more annoying and that's saying a lot.
It's turned a very simple post into a whole new process. Basic things that make WP worthwhile aren't even working.
I can see what they're trying to do but they do it in such a way that it adds steps to really simple tasks which I am almost always opposed to doing.
Bad UI = Bad UX

Also, I can no longer recommend WordPress unless you have very specific needs other platforms can't provide.
Just need a blog or personal portfolio site?
Stay far, far away.
What's really weird is that #Gutenberg was pitched as somehow making things better for folks new to the #WordPress ecosystem.
At this point that's a delusional concept.
