    I learned a hard lesson yesterday, and lost about 7 hours of productivity in the process.

    If you install a theme and click 'edit' while viewing the page, you arent editing a webpage, you're editing the theme template for the front page. I should have suspected something was wrong when each time I clicked "save" it did NOT prompt me to also "publish" the page like it usually does. There is nothing to publish, its only a template. So after logging off then looking for my web page, of course I didnt find it in the trash or anywhere else... because it never existed.

    This time, I saved the "template parts" so in case anything happens I can copy the blocks over.

    There is one small upside. I'm getting used to the block editor, and how to work with rows and columns.

    • At first the blocks thing was intimidating but now I understand what is meant when ppl say "It tries to take up all the available width". Also, my H2 tags werecherub
    • being ignored then I found out its bcuz the container they were in... wouldn't let them be bigger. Then *POOF* huge text!!! IT WORKS NOW!!! hahacherub
    • The only thing that is non-intuitive is I also seem to grab the wrong size rows, columns for the thing I'm doing, and I can't seem to drag the rows/colums tocherub
    • make them bigger.cherub
