![]() They keep changing or adding plugins, themes and other features hoping it will solve their problem. The real truth is that many people struggle to build a successful online business with WordPress. While putting up a (WordPress) site is easy, knowing how to build an online business is another story. However, many people who want a (WordPress) website really want a web business (get lots of traffic, make money with the site, etc). But that will leave some pretty massive gaps in terms of operating systems.If you JUST want to build a website WordPress in itself is absolutely fantastic. In fact, assuming that WordPress will continue to properly render well-formed html, that will leave MarsEdit as the only way to draft and publish WordPress content in the traditional streamlined way. I don’t anticipate the status quo for MarsEdit users being disrupted unless they specifically choose to use themes that only work well if multiple blocks per post are used. The way blocks are implemented, users will have the option of simply writing “one block” per post if they feel that is sufficient. Lets see what WordPress 5.0 has to offer.ĭecember 7th, 2018 at 10:44 Jenkins: I don’t think Gutenberg threatens the MarsEdit workflow, even after it becomes the only editing framework for WordPress. What the big deal? Well for starter’s the name “Bebo” where has this came from, I first read about it on Wpblog a couple days ago. But with Gutenberg scheduled to become, not just the default, but the *only* editing framework by 2021, what chances of medium to long-term survival does that leave for the ‘streamlined workflow’ approach preferred by MarsEdit users? And thus for the app itself if it does not submit? Your current state of mind on the issue seems sound. This entry was posted to MarsEdit, WordPress.Ĥ Responses to “WordPress 5.0, Gutenberg, and MarsEdit” As always, feel free to drop me a line if you have any additional questions. I hope this post has helped to answer any questions you might have had about WordPress 5.0, the Gutenberg editor, and how it will affect your use of MarsEdit to edit your blog. ![]() If enhancing MarsEdit to support block-specific workflows seems like it will be widely-appreciated by MarsEdit users, then I will start planning to make those changes to the app. In the longer term I’ll be keeping my ears open both for feedback from my customers, and to see how Gutenberg is received both by bloggers, and by the larger WordPress community. As I mentioned above, I think that blocks are going to appeal more to web authors who are managing full-fledged sites, and less to bloggers who appreciate the streamlined workflow that MarsEdit emphasizes. In the short term I am not planning to add much in the way of block-specific functionality to MarsEdit. ![]() But when you edit and publish changes to your post, the block information should be preserved. Unlike the WordPress web-based editor, you will not see a visual representation of the blocks as separate entities in your posts. When editing a post with block-based content in MarsEdit, you will see the raw HTML for your blocks when editing in Plain Text mode, and a rendered version of the HTML in Rich Text mode. Because blocks are implemented using HTML, any app that can edit HTML source, as MarsEdit does, can also edit the content of these blocks. If you add new posts to your blog using the Gutenberg editor, you can edit that content in MarsEdit, too. If you also edit posts in the WordPress web editor, you’ll have the option of using the new Gutenberg editor, or opting to restore the “Classic” WordPress editor. What’s it Mean for MarsEdit?Īfter updating to WordPress 5.0, you can continue using MarsEdit to download, publish, and edit posts on your blog. Time will tell whether block-based editing ends up being common in blogging contexts. Typically blogs feature a unified design for posts, so that in the process of writing individual posts, you can focus more on the content than on the layout and organization of the piece. This change to the editor is part of a trend with WordPress of moving away from the dedicated purpose of blogging, towards satisfying the more general-purpose needs of a full-featured CMS. can be created and manipulated by dragging them around inside a post. Instead of writing posts as a single stream of content, semantically meaningful chunks representing different sections, image elements, etc. The fundamental change in WordPress 5.0 is a new “block based” approach to composing content. Although WordPress’s versioning scheme doesn’t place significance on the “round number” versions, this update happens to include a major rethinking of the default web-based WordPress editor, which they call “Gutenberg.” What’s the Big Deal? Congratulations to the open source WordPress team on the release of WordPress 5.0: Bebo.
