Typically blogs feature a unified design for posts, so that in the process of writing individual posts, you can focus more on the content than on the layout and organization of the piece. Time will tell whether block-based editing ends up being common in blogging contexts.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sigh. A harsh reality. WordPress needs to make money. Blogging at the amateur level doesn&#8217;t make them any money.<\/p>\n<p>Matt is himself, a blogger. I hope he&#8217;ll have the guts to fork WordPress to the open source community so we who have built our entire online life on WordPress can continue using it with security patches and improvements that support web browsers 20 years from now.<span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:1824,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/red-sweater.com\\\/blog\\\/3404\\\/wordpress-5-0-gutenberg-and-marsedit&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/web-wp.archive.org\\\/web\\\/20200923223144\\\/https:\\\/\\\/red-sweater.com\\\/blog\\\/3404\\\/wordpress-5-0-gutenberg-and-marsedit&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-11-03 21:38:17&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-12-03 19:49:06&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2025-12-14 23:26:16&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:206},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-01-27 07:31:15&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-02-04 14:18:24&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-06-10 12:10:33&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-02 04:24:50&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-07-19 08:22:04&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-14 17:03:02&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-28 09:36:09&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200}],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2026-08-28 09:36:09&quot;,&quot;http_code&quot;:200},&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Via Red Sweater Blog: This change to the editor is part of a trend with WordPress of moving&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-12-08T14:59:47Z","apple_news_api_id":"e2730b8f-de9e-457d-9d30-aeb1b196860c","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-12-08T16:05:37Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A4nMLj96eRX2dMK6xsZaGDA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-22U","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3348,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/12\/07\/my-10-years-of-blogging-by-om-malik\/","url_meta":{"origin":7868,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 &#8220;My 10 years of blogging&#8221; by Om Malik","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"December 7, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"GigaOm: Given that there isn\u2019t quite an exact birthday (though December 13 is when I opened moveable type-powered GigaOm.com to the Internet) I thought this long break is a good time for me to sit and take stock.
