A WordPress update
I do wonder what WordPress has become. It’s too complex for blogging and theming (and perhaps always was), but it’s still software built on concepts of posts, pages and taxonomies.
I completely agree with Leon. I’ve been blogging for over 20 years, the majority of those on WordPress.com. The Gutenberg block editor is what ruined WordPress for me!
I would never recommend WordPress for begging bloggers. There are much better options. Pika, Bearblog, and Write.as to name a few that I'm familiar with.
