Similar to how newspapers organize their content for publications, a block contains content that shares a common look and feel throughout a website whenever a type of block is used. Examples of blocks include a paragraph, heading, news, and highlight, just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  is-style-with-no-margin-bottom body-text-heading\">Why is it useful to design in blocks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-with-no-margin-bottom wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Designing in blocks is a form of&nbsp;modular design. Modular design has been used in other fields of work. The practice has been used in print publications, architecture, and in the automotive business. For the web, the benefits of thinking modular are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-block-list list list-unordered\">\n<li>Better control of how to layout types of content throughout a website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purposeful and consistent look and feel of Georgetown\u2019s brand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easier to manage, since updates can be focused on an individual block, and not with updating the entire template of a website. This also means continuous improvements of blocks and introducing new blocks for a particular type of content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Faster turnaround of development and updates, since changes will be smaller in scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Targeted redesigns by creating new page designs via the use of blocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  is-style-with-no-margin-bottom body-text-heading\">Adding and Editing Blocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph body-text\">When creating a new page or post, there will be a default paragraph block in the editor that says, \u201cType \/ to choose a block\u201d. To add a new block, you can either click on the \u201c+\u201d in the upper left-hand corner of the page, or the \u201c+\u201d to the right of the default paragraph block in the editor. From there, you can choose from a variety of blocks to add to your page.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gu-block gu-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2843\" height=\"1301\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor.png\" alt=\"View of Gutenberg editor with red outlines around the &quot;add block&quot; button and the block search menu.\" class=\"wp-image-639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor.png 2843w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-1024x469.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-768x351.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-1536x703.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-2048x937.png 2048w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-660x302.png 660w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-1320x604.png 1320w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-2000x915.png 2000w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-1639x750.png 1639w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/1789-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/wordpress-editor-1458x667.png 1458w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2843px) 100vw, 2843px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph body-text\">You can also hover on blocks you have already created to make additional blocks.
