Example

Header
  Text:  Notes from the studio
  Level: 2

Plain Text
  Text:  We publish short pieces about the work behind our projects — the
         drafts, the dead ends, and the decisions that made the final
         version. New notes appear here every few weeks.

Notes

  • Level is the heading's rank, not its size. A page should have one level 1 heading and use level 2 for the sections under it. Getting this right is what makes a page readable to screen readers and search engines.
  • Plain Text is for plain paragraphs. If you need bold, links, or lists, use Rich Text instead.
  • New blocks are saved as published by default. They still only reach visitors once the page itself is published.
  • Blocks render in the order they are listed. Use the arrows in the block list to reorder them rather than deleting and recreating.
