The team at Generatepress just always seem to make the right decisions, but bringing Jonathan on to create their videos, has to be right up there with some of their best! His videos and courses are among the best around.
Great to see some action on the Generate Press TH-cam channel. I was wondering when we would see some videos showing us how to use the new system. Looking forward to the next one Jonathan.
Oh finally an official video from gp team... Please please make a video on legacy to global style conversion...How can we make use of the css used in custom child theme?
Thanks for the video Jonathan. It helps with being able to think through how to recreate my current development system which uses the old GenerateBlocks Local Patterns and Global Styles. It looks like I need to figure out a place to adjust global styles as I don't want to do it within page content. Sure I might do it sometimes within the page content, but I need a clean and organized space to review all the headline styles for example. The old Global Styles system made that easy.
That's actually a great idea for a video, Tim. ("Creating a Style Guide page") We'll be posting a lot more content around how things like theme styles, global styles, and the pattern library all connect with each other, which I think will be particularly helpful for you based on what you're describing.
@@GeneratePress, I do already have an "overview" type style guide page as part of my process, as well as a "elements guide" page which shows all the "GenerateBlocks Local Patterns" so those who are building out pages can easily see the preconfigured elements.
@@charleswillcock3235, I'm not sure what you're specifically referring to. For my builds, I create both a Style Guide page and an Elements Guide page so that whoever I have load the page content, or eventually maintain the website, they have everything they need. From what I am seeing with the new GenerateBlocks, it's missing a lot of organization that the previous version had. Don't get me wrong, from a developer standpoint, the new global styles is fantastic, but from a not-so-technical end-user standpoint, the new system is far more confusing.
Thanks for this explainer video. But I feel GenerateBlocks lost its appeal for beginners and people who are not developers but make their own websites. New global styles made it a bit complex. I mean I don't understand why would i need to change the order of classes and what it issues a wrong order can cause. Its a whole new learning curve for me and all the tutorials I saw from Kyle and others assume you know certain things unlike earlier where a newbie could follow and make websites. Thanks though, this video helps.
The best way to promote anything is to tell more of a story. Indeed I can see TheAdminBar below, Kyle does a great job, should you be wondering what I mean. I have been a bit too lazy, and tied up with other projects to explore this, but could I create a monthly newsletter as a pattern, and each month the client would effectively just swap in the new text and pictures - add a featured image, and excerpt?

@@TimTaricco without some sort of style guide page I think this could cause more problems than it solves.
