Hi,

I’m looking into hosting a blog site for myself - nothing fancy, just a site where I can publish some of my thoughts and ideas. Maybe I also want a section to publish images. So, basically something lean and mostly text only.

What’s the easiest way to set this up for myself?

      Yeah the infamous block editor. As an old skool hand-coder, I can’t stand it. You have to manually enable classic editing each time on WordPress.com otherwise it defaults to the Gutenberg editor. I heard it’s improved somewhat recently, but when I first used it it was the biggest load of crap, worse than the beep beep boop one, which was at least useable. It was both dumbed down and unintuitive at the same time.

      At least on a .org installation, classic editor disables Gutenberg completely.

        Thanks, I didn’t know what it’s called. I agree that the block editor is unusable. Honestly, it reminds me of GeoCities. I wouldn’t consider it progress.

      I believe Gutenberg is a visual editor that WordPress uses, it has buttons that let you insert blocks throughout the page I think
