Summary

We are just starting our adventure together discovering WordPress styling. Today, you can create far more than what was previously possible. In this chapter, we have learned a lot together. So, let’s go through what we have covered:

• Gutenberg is the code name for a new editing experience in WordPress. This has opened up the opportunity to do things for which previously you needed to understand code.
• Today’s content in WordPress is built up using blocks of different types, from images to text, with unique blocks such as the cover block and traditional ones such as headings.
• We learned that blocks have settings that we can access through primary and secondary areas.
• Also, we learned how to set the mode and style of our editing experience, along with the outline, and see the details of the content we are creating.
• WordPress has a concept of design tools, which are tools to empower styling. Further, we learned that there are concepts that all design tools use.
• Finally, we familiarized ourselves with the different types of design tools, which are color, layout, border, and shadow.

This is all great, but design tools have a lot more to them. In the next chapter, we will look at each of these and even see how you can combine them powerfully to create incredible style combinations.
