 Develop Your First Low-Code Block Theme
 https://learn.wordpress.org/lesson/different-types-of-themes-overview/
 With the WordPress 5.9 release, a new type of theme known as a block theme
 became available in the WordPress theme repository(insert period); These
 new themes place the power of design customizations into the hands of
 users.

 In order to make big layout changes, adjust colors that weren’t already
 hard-coded into, or even move a logo from the left side of the screen to
 the right, users needed to have a strong grasp of CSS to move key elements
 of their websites or even change colors. Here’s an example:

 The Site Editor allows users to move big elements of their site, change
 colors with a the click of a button, and customize their theme exactly to
 their choosing. There are many more options and flexibility to block
 themes. See the difference in the screenshot below of changing the text
 color to blue:

 What do users love about classic themes? Add period at end of each
 sentence.
 * Easy to use right out of the box; . Get started writing immediately
 without worrying too much about layout.
 * Ideal for new WordPress users.
 * Write, edit and publish posts or pages without thinking about complex
 customizations.
 What do users love about block themes?
 * Create custom blog posts and also pages using drag and drop builder.
 * Create amazing (omit hyphen) looking pages where a user can add almost
 anything you need.
 * Design a website from top to bottom without needing any coding
 knowledge.

 Hybrid Themes: A theme that contains a mix of both classic theme elements
 and block theme elements. These themes borrow a few elements from either
 the classic or block theme. PHP coding is required to build a hybrid
 theme. Some examples might be themes that interact heavily with other
 WordPress plugins, such as eCommerce plugins. As block themes become more
 and more powerful, however, less of these will (likely!) need to be
 created.

 Universal Themes: These themes can work entirely either like a classic
 theme or like a block theme–(delete hyphen). (Add period) They are built
 using both the Site Editor and PHP code. Historically, these themes were
 used to bridge the gap between what the block editor (at the time)
 couldn’t do, and what the customizer could do. Largely, however, you’ll
 find themes will either be a block theme or a classic them(add e).

 What will this course focus on?
 Designing block themes only requires knowledge of the point(omit
 hyphen)and(omit hyphen)click Site Editor. It is possible to create a block
 theme using no code at all. (omit hyphen)although This course will also
 teach you the very basics of theme.json. to set you up for Block theme
 designing success allows so you to have more control over of your layout
 with a few simple codes that you can copy and paste.

 How Themes Are Designed

 As an intermediate user, you’re probably familiar with finding,
 installing, and experimenting with both classic and block themes in the
 WordPress.org theme repository. Have you ever wondered how themes are
 often developed, from the start of a creative idea to finished product
 (available in the WordPress.org theme repository)? If so, read on!

 2. Design It
 Once a theme has been dreamed up, many designers turn to other tools, such
 as Figma or Photoshop, to begin drafting what their WordPress theme will
 look like. Historically, it was hard to look at a lot of code and picture
 what the end result would be. (Insert period) ; These tools (Figma,
 Photoshop, and beyond) helped designers visualize the end result before
 they passed along their ideas to developers, who would code this into a
 PHP file. (Omit =)

 3. Move The Draft Into WordPress
 One of the most exciting things about developing block themes is that it
 eliminates the need for the “moving” step(insert period)–(omit hyphen) In
 other words, moving from a Figma or image file into WordPress itself.
 Once a Figma file has been created, revised, edited, and finalized, a
 designer (insert hands) often turns the design over to a developer to take
 their dreams and code it into reality using a mix of PHP, HTML, CSS, and
 Javascript.
