This is an H2

Most of your content should be contained in H2 subheadings.

In version 4.0.0 and later, body font-sizes have been standardized across all themes at 16px. Headings have been standardized using "em", meaning a multiple of the 16px body-font size.

For more details, see this blog post.

This is an H3

H3 can be used to sub-categorize your content under H2 headings. You typically won't use these when making recipes posts.

This is an H4

H4 is relatively uncommon, except in technical documentation. As a food blogger, anything you consider using for H4 should be either bumped up to H3, or simple paragraph text.

This is an H5

No real application for this outside of technical and legal documents.

This is an H6

Why even bother at this point?

Simple Image Block

New Gallery Block

We don't recommend using the gallery block due to poor accessibility support.

Instead, use the WordPress-core "columns" block and insert normal images into the columns:

Columns

Mobile is the most important, making up approximately 75% of pageviews for most food blogs in 2018 and on.

Process shots

For process shots, you can stack an image and text:

Make sure to leave "stack on mobile" enabled in the columns block:

Here's an example that's not stacked on mobile:

Fractions

The Feast Plugin contains an enhancement to convert text-based characters to fractions, so that you get ½ instead of 1 / 2 and ¼ instead of 1 / 4.

• ½
• ⅓
• ¼
• ⅔
• ¾
• ⅕
• ⅖
• ⅗
• ⅘
• ⅙
• ⅚
• ⅞
• ⅛
• ⅜
• ⅝

Acronyms

The Feast Plugin contains an enhancement to convert recipe acronyms to improve screen reader accessibility, so that it reads the word teaspoon instead of "tee ess pee" and tablespoon instead of "tee bee ess pee".

Unordered List

• This is an unordered list block
• This is the second item in the list
• Use unordered lists to create lists in which the sequence isn't important

Ordered List

1. This is an ordered list block
2. It's good to itemize sequential steps or items in an ordered list
3. Using lists to break up your content and make it easier to parse is a good user-experience practice

Featured review block

Quotes

Blockquotes are a great way to emphasize an important piece of your content.

This is a pullquote

You can also turn the blockquote into a citation by providing a "citation". This is a great way to reference content on another site.
