Anatomy of a WordPress Page
When you view a page on a WordPress site in your browser, it is constructed of many dynamic parts. WordPress assembles all these pieces behind the scenes on the web server and shows you the finished product: a beautiful web page.

WordPress Restore Classic Editor
The transition to the new “block editor” in WordPress 5 can be jarring. In this video we show how to quickly re-install the classic editor if you need to Get Stuff Done Right Now!

Tennis / Chess Club Fund Raiser This Saturday!
This was a test post used in the making of our Gutenberg 101 video.
The combined Tennis and Chess club fund raiser is this Saturday, April 23rd. The presidents of both clubs have announced the following fundraising activities:
- Car Wash
- Bake Sale
- Lemonade Stand
- T-Shirt Sale
Your Support Helps!
The Tennis club is involved in many events throughout the year. This funding supports travel, team uniforms, practice and tournament equipment, and the occasional celebratory pizza party. Last year our very own Sally Smith made it to the state finals, and this year we plan to do even better!
The Chess club hosts a school tournament on the 2nd Saturday of each month. The club also travels to district and regional tournaments around our city and state. The fundraising proceeds help pay for travel, equipment, and team T-shirts. The club significantly improved tournament results after providing practice sets for all the team members to take home.

WordPress Posts vs Pages
Posts Vs. Pages
This was a test post used while making our WordPress Posts Vs. Pages video.
Today we will explain the difference between posts and pages.
Posts are most commonly seen on blog sites, or in the blogging section of a company site. Posts are typically displayed in a list, newest first, with an excerpt of ech one, and a “read more” link to view the whole post.
Pages are geared toward more stable content which stays the same over time, such as the “About Us” page, or a map to our business, or the company mission statement. Pages are typically accessed through navigation features (menus) on the site.
