Having used WordPress for a number of years now it’s time for a new chapter. This is the first of my three blogs I’m upgrading to WordPress 5, which includes the change to Gutenberg as the editor.
Before I upgrade the other two blogs I’m going to gain some initial experience using Gutenberg on this blog, just to make sure I’m ready before upgrading the other blogs.
Very first impression is positive, it looks fresh and clean and at least writing a simple post like this one seems quite straightforward.
Only minor ‘issues’ I’ve spotted so far are that there is no tag cloud for frequently used tags (which I quite liked in the old editor) and so far I haven’t found an easy option to insert special characters.
More to come as learn about the new editor.

A mid December long weekend is well placed for some home baking (and my first steps with the new Gutenberg editor). Today I’m planning to make some Bremer Klaben and possibly some bread. Tomorrow I’ll definitely make some bread. Yesterday I improvised some Wholemeal Fruit Bread:
Wholemeal Fruit Bread freshly cut (phone camera picture)The ingredients:
300g strong stoneground wholemeal bread flour
150g strong white bread flour
250g mixed fruit (sultanas, currants, raisins, candied mixed peel)
~15-20ml Sicilian Lemon Extract
6g ready zest / powdered lemon peel (yes, I’m lazy)
~10g fast action bread yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pint warm water
Mix, knead, let rise as appropriate, then bake at 220ºC (fan assisted oven) for just over 35 minutes.
Eating it this morning while writing this blog post, tastes nice, fresh and fruity. And I’m starting to get used to the new Gutenberg WordPress editor. I’m beginning to grasp the block concept and I think with a little bit more experience I’m going to like it.
