    I have been designated ‘webmaster’ by VALBARC. My only experience as webmaster previously has been to use a couple of site-dedicated ‘site builders’, which took time to learn. After falling asleep when watching various youtube WordPress videos, I ask is there a quick and easy way to learn to update my existing website maybe by starting to use Gutenberg Blocks, if that is the easiest and simplist learning/working method?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
