WordCamp London 5-7 April – Sessions I might be allowed to attend
I’m attending WordCamp London in April. Once again, I’m volunteering. So I won’t be able to attend all the sessions. These are the ones that I would choose if I were not otherwise occupied with volunteering duties.
WordCamp London bucket list – 5-7 April 2019
In previous years I’ve written a bucket list for things I want to achieve while attending WordCamp London. This year I already have 9 items. I’m sure I’ll find the 10th very soon.

Some of these blocks are duplicated many times by other plugins. Some of the other plugins provide better versions of the blocks. But, rather than drop my blocks, I’ll continue to enhance my versions while the Defacto standard for a particular block has not been set.
Of course, I won’t know which is the best version until I’ve catalogued them all. it’s going to take some time and i hope it’s going to be worth it.

My Favourite Block
I wrote this poem, entitled “My Favourite Block”, for a lightning talk that I prepared for the February 2019 WordPress Portsmouth Meetup.
WordPress 5.0.1, Classic editor 1.3 and No Gutenberg
Here we go then. I’m in the pub and have just updated to WordPress 5.0.1.
I started writing this post on my iphone.
My own blocks didn’t seem to work properly. I investigated later. After I’d upgraded oik-blocks to the latest version, everything was fine on my laptop.
With Classic Editor v1.3 per post switching between editors can be done using the Default editor current user Meta Box.
| block | working |
|---|---|
| Csv | yes -when Gutenberg is activated |
| css | expect so |
