I noticed that Gutenberg 5.0 has added a RSS block to the editor. This is probably a bit nerdy, but I was pretty excited to see this addition to the block editor.
My “Interesting stuff” page is an experiment in sharing things I find, well, interesting online. I had to install a separate plugin to add a RSS feed that I created, initially. The new RSS block makes it as easy as it should be to just add a RSS feed to a post or a page.
I like it!
This wasn’t the only addition through Gutenberg 5.0. Here’s the announcement post with details of the new Kindle block, and a great tweak to the Cover block:
Yes, I like these little things about Gutenberg. I recently changed my homepage from being a blog archive to a static page with “Recent posts” block and I like how it looks!
Curious, how did you create this branded shortlink?
I’m using a plugin called Hum – https://wordpress.org/plugins/hum/
What kind of plugin did you use to create the RSS feed your block reads?
I’m mostly just using feeds from sites that I want to subscribe to with the block.
