Have you started using Gutenberg, the new WordPress editor currently in beta testing? Wondering if there are faster or easier ways to edit in Gutenberg?
Or have you run into some issues, but haven’t figured out how to resolve the problems?
Then you don’t want to miss this week’s Gutenberg YouTube Live talk and Q & A hosted by my friend Birgit Pauli-Haack on Friday, September 14, 2018.
She’ll share all kinds of useful tips to make it easier for you to work with Gutenberg.
The talk is free and open to any content creator, blogger, or do-it-yourself website owner.
What You’ll Learn
Gutenberg keeps improving and adding features with each new release. But it also has several shortcuts and hidden features you might not know about.
At the YouTube Live talk and Q & A, you’ll learn how to:
- Start a quote or ordered list quickly
- Apply code formatting around text
- Dock the toolbar to the top
- Adjust the size of your editor window
as well as many other Gutenberg editing tips.
Have questions about Gutenberg? Ask away!
There’s plenty of time in between tips to get your questions answered.
Pauli-Haack will discuss what’s not quite working yet, and “gotchas” you want to avoid.
In addition, you’ll learn about new features coming in Gutenberg 3.8, including Spotlight Mode and Full Screen Mode.
What If You Haven’t Tried Gutenberg Yet But Still Want to Attend?
I’ve got you covered!
You’ll get more out of the talk if you’ve already used Gutenberg. And there are a couple ways to do that quickly.
You can visit Test Gutenberg for a hands-on demo using Gutenberg. Add text, edit existing text, change colors, fonts, etc.
Another option is to create a copy of your own WordPress site on a staging site, so you can test Gutenberg out with your own content, without making changes to your live site.
According to the instructions in the post, it will take about 15 minutes to set up a staging site on Pantheon, for free.

It’s free, no registration required. When I asked Pauli-Haack how long she expected it to last, she said about an hour.
