Glow Blogs updated April 2025⤴
from John @ news – Glow Blog Help
Glow Blogs has just been updated to WordPress 6.7.2
This has not brought a lot of new features that users will notices but there are improvements in performance, security & accessibility.
Most of the improvements to the editor are for the block editor and site editors, bringing some more features to many of the blocks and improvements to the site editor.
Not many users of Glow Blogs are using the block or site editor yet. We would recommend trying the block editor as it makes posting different types of content simpler. There are also a lot more possibilities for changing the appearance of the content & layout.
The Site editor is more complex but lets you completely change the layout and appearance of the site.
We have more information on the Block editor. We have a site that explains a lot more about the individual blocks along with lots of tips for using it: Blocks – Using the Blocks Editor in Glow Blogs. Finally our newer tutorials cover many of the features of the block editor.
This video shows some of the main changes in WordPress 6.7. Remember third party videos show WordPress in general so some of the features may not be available on Glow Blogs.
Housekeeping
This release also prepares for our housekeeping exercise. Please read: Glow Blogs Hosekeeping Announcment The exercise starts on May the first. This is paerticualry important if you have a useful site that has not been updated for a while.
Glow Blogs Tutorial: School Site⤴
from Mr Johnston @ news – Glow Blog Help
This tutorial shows how to make a simple site with Glow Blogs. You can read through the tutorial or follow along on the videos.
The tutorial will use the Twenty Fourteen theme & the block editor.
This will be a School Site with some of the features that you may like to add.
The tutorial will also help you to understand some of the basics of the Block editor. The site uses a classic theme, Twenty Fourteen, but it will be simple to follow along and use a different theme.
The tutorial takes a modular approach. Starting with setting up a functioning 2 pages site, News & About, up and running, then look at how the site can be expanded.
You need to logon to Glow when you visit the site. It contains example images and text created with the aid of ChatGPT and other AI tools. This text should not be taken seriously.
This is the one of several tutorials sites that are in the works. We would very much appreciate any feedback.
