Top 7 Most Beautiful Living and Minimal Stays In The World
The goal of this new editor is to make adding rich content to WordPress simple and enjoyable. This whole post is composed of pieces of content—somewhat similar to LEGO bricks—that you can move around and interact with. Move your cursor around and you’ll notice the different blocks light up with outlines and arrows. Press the arrows to reposition blocks quickly, without fearing losing things in the process of copying and pasting.
Headings are separate blocks as well, which helps with the outline and organization of your content. What you are reading now is a text block the most basic block of all. The text block has its own controls to be moved freely around the post…

Visual EditingA huge benefit of blocks is that you can edit them in place and manipulate your content directly. Instead of having fields for editing things like the source of a quote, or the text of a button, you can directly change the content. Try editing the following quote:
Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Matt Mullenweg, 2017
The information corresponding to the source of the quote is a separate text field, similar to captions under images, so the structure of the quote is protected even if you select, modify, or remove the source. It’s always easy to add it back.
Media RichIf you combine the new wide and full-wide alignments with galleries, you can create a very media rich layout, very quickly:
[image error]Credit: Michael MurraySure, the full-wide image can be pretty big. But sometimes the image is worth it. The above is a gallery with just two images. It’s an easier way to create visually appealing layouts, without having to deal with floats. You can also easily convert the gallery back to individual images again, by using the block switcher.
ConclusionAny block can opt into these alignments. The embed block has them also, and is responsive out of the box. The information corresponding to the source of the quote is a separate text field, similar to captions under images.

Yesterday, Carrie, Viola, and I went to MASS MOCA. And this Alex...
Yesterday, Carrie, Viola, and I went to MASS MOCA. And this Alex da Corte installation was one of my favorite. It’s hard to give a full scope of this particular exhibit (you can see the pictures at the museum’s web site). In this picture, though, you should try to imagine not seeing the house front as pink. Because it doesn’t have to be. If you were to walk from a different direction, it would be white. Or green. The hands would be tossing or flying out the window.
The swan in the foreground, is in a shallow pool. Enough water to push and get a small rippling wake behind it. Everything is a little off, a little too comfortably situated. There are lilly pads in the corner. And plastic pancakes with little pats of plastic butter on top.
There’s this overall ambient feel to the exhibit. Because of the lighting? The music? The carpeting? (Gross! Carpeting!) It’s like Maurizio Cattelan in an elevator during the 1980s when there was always muzak playing. But more.

Not My Boat
There are children and an ocean, a deep ocean, with a boat moving out. No, it’s only a lake. But it feels like an ocean. There’s depression, too. Obviously. And who would think there could be so much interesting in depression, and what we would be helpless to. Being a human can be a horrible horrible experience, and this poem makes it clear that the person speaking here knows how horrible it is when you care. I can feel like this person cares. I care now, too.
I want to row out to find the child that Zeller is talking about here. Even when it feels like the child is the one on the table right beside her. No one is moving. Stomachs are emptied. I feel emptied when I’m reading this poem. And that’s good.

I see what you’re doing in THE PEDESTRIANS, Rachel Zucker
She is a mother. She lives in a house. She lives in an apartment. She is acclimated to the dimensions of a big city, but many of the poems in this book only mention the big city as something she knows. Quite possibly, she loves the big city more than anything else, because there are no words for this city. Love need not be measured in words. Or even lack of wording. Just in reference and allusion and expansion within the setting that she is at. Is she in Paris when all the words that she uses to talk about the culture are French? Likely. Is the Big City New York even if she never actually gives the city its name? None other, lover!
These are exercises that she does. Is she Rachel Zucker? I like Rachel Zucker, especially in the despicability she has been in other books that feature someone with all the same lifestyle accommodations as what I know Rachel Zucker has. She is the personhood side of a public figure. She has three children. She looks to the she within her and keeps noticing all the different qualities a she must and will and did and ruefully have as an animal. A human is an animal. She is a human-animal living somewhere where knowing about the city is a way of knowing herself as the animal that prefers cities but still finds relish in other-than-city locales.
And, lest it be overlooked, all the ways that she is with the city, she is with her family, and her husband. Maybe he is like an outcropping of her family. An outcropping can make a continent deformed and more interesting. This book feels like Rachel Zucker continually trying to adjust her clothing so that the outcroppings that make up who she is are hidden or shown in a more complimentary light. But for a reader who is careful, he or she knows. Those are outcropping, Rachel Zucker. I see what you’re doing.
