Theme Support?
- Gutenberg styles a lot out of the box
- If things don't look quite right, bug your theme authors to support the block editor.
- You can also add this custom CSS to support "wide" and "full" width images.
Will I be able to use my
Favorite Plugins?

Intro to the Block Editor (WCSAC19)
A new block-based editor (aka Gutenberg) is coming to WordPress 5.0 in 2018. This update will radically impact how you imagine and conceptualize your website content. We’ll cover what exactly Gutenberg is and how to prepare for it. The key takeaway is an understanding of how Gutenberg will affect your existing content, and how to create exciting new layouts with it in the future. Bonus: Free downloadable resources and demos will be provided. If you want to get ahead of the curve with Gutenberg and be empowered to do more with your website; this is a must-see talk.
