Here’s a peek at the latest changes in the block editor — subtle-yet-practical enhancements that help you create beautiful posts and pages more efficiently:
New page layout picker experience.Convert text and images into Columns block.Improved spacing options for social links and buttons.Streamlined behavior of the writing prompt.
Let’s dive in!
New Page Layout Picker
Page layouts are pre-designed templates that make creating beautiful pages a breeze. In this update we focused on improving the layout picker, making it easier to quickly browse different categories and select your layout.
Convert text and images into Columns Block
Transforming one block into another is a nifty trick that can greatly improve the editing experience. With the latest update, text (and images too!) can be automatically converted to a Columns block with the click of a button.
Select two or more blocks (these could be Paragraph, Heading, Image, etc.), click on the grouped block icon, and select “Columns” from the list of transformation options. The number of blocks selected will correspond to the number of columns.
Improved spacing options for Social Links and Buttons
Get creative with new ways to arrange your social links and buttons. This update brings you greater control over spacing and unlocks some neat layout ideas.
The correct alignment will be visible once you finish editing the Social Icons block.
Streamlined behavior of the writing prompt
You’re probably familiar with the writing prompt that greets you every time you start a new post or page. Until now you’d also see it on every new line in your document. We’re happy to report that’s no longer the case! To streamline the writing process the prompt will now only appear once. There will be no subsequent prompts with every new line — just space for you to write your thoughts without distractions.
You keep building, we’ll keep improving
We can’t wait to see what you build with the improved block editor. In the meantime, we’ll keep new updates coming your way.
Happy editing!

As a solutions architect, I spend a lot of my time talking to my customers about Kubernetes. In every one of those conversations, it’s guaranteed that the topic of Kubernetes Operators will come up. Operators, and their relationship to Red Hat OpenShift, aren’t always clear to those who are just starting out on their container adoption journey.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) drive much of the world around us, from the apps on our phones to electric cars on the highway. Allowing such things to run as accurately as possible takes huge amounts of data to be collected and understood. At the helm of that critical information are data scientists. So, what’s a day on the job look like for data scientists at Red Hat?

When it comes right down to it, a database is only useful if you can use it to get access to the information you need, when you need it. That’s why performance is so important whether you are running on bare metal, in virtual machines or containers. Regardless of whether you’re running on-premises or in the public or private cloud. One of the key factors influencing performance is traditionally the choice of an underlying operating system.
