What is Block Editor?

Block Editor allows you to build your Glow Blog using blocks that can be selected from an extensive menu. These blocks can be added to your page to write blog posts, format text, and add multimedia elements to your pages.

Block Editor offers:

Block-based editing: Instead of a traditional text editor, it uses blocks – reusable modules for text, images, videos, and more. You can arrange these blocks to structure your content and design your page layout.
Easy content creation: The block editor makes it simple to add different media types like images, videos, and galleries to your posts.
Intuitive Interface: It provides a visual editing experience, allowing you to see the layout of your content as you build it.
Rich media support: You can embed various media formats to enhance your blog posts and pages.

The Block Editor provides users with a modern and easy to use interface which streamlines content creation for users of all experience levels.
