This feature, the Drop Cap reminded me of Illuminated manuscripts and sent me scurrying across the internet to see precisely what the difference is. Illuminated uses a Drop Cap, a larger initial letter, with an illustration within the letter. The letter itself is often very elaborate. I guess WordPress still has room for growth. I think I’ll have fun with this flourish.
The block feature is interesting. I’ve been trying to use it, and must say I am not really sure about it. I was comfortable with the old way. I can see the potential. I’m just not sure I will ever use it to advantage, because I basically just plain write. But this feature may entice me to change the look of my blog and my approach to my writing. I’m thinking glossy magazine vs. black and white newsprint.
I may have to upgrade my media, but that should be easy with Pixel, and all the great open-stock materials. I actually gave away my Rebel Camera, and my video camera to my grandchildren. My phone and tablet make it so easy to take photo, and I still have my bin of photographs. For today, enjoy me pictures of Shadow, with a glimpse of Blue eating in the background.
I was worried I’d come back and would have forgotten everything, but no worries, as long as I can think of something to write about.
I’m not sure about the block format either. It’s challenging for the style I have developed. I’ve also notice I can’t view my draft blogs any longer. It’s seems view isn’t working for me. Oh well. I’ll adapt.

Are you using the block editor on a mobile app, like a iPad? I couldn’t get it to work okay. Really frustrating. It’s not too bad on a laptop.

I used it on my laptop first. I had to wrestle with it either way.
