ICYMI: Wordpress released 5.0 last week, the latest version of its platform that includes a new block editor dubbed “Gutenberg.” The new editor's features are largely centered around customizable content blocks, and is ultimately intended to help site owners better decide how content is displayed. 🙌

“As a core contributing developer of WordPress, I am super excited about Gutenberg. It's an audacious project built on top of JavaScript/React.js. This cutting edge editing experience is going to make building content with WordPress an excellent experience (if not now then in a year or so from now).” - Ahmad

“For realz, this new release is about "bringing sexy back" to WordPress.” - Adam
