Publikováno: 7.1.2020
One of the many (many) useful things that Jetpack does is give you extra-fancy custom blocks in the WordPress block (AKA Gutenberg) editor: a slideshow, business hours, contact info, GIF, Mailchimp, Map, Markdown, Pinterest, Star Rating, Recurring Payments Button, Repeat Visitor, Simple Payments Button, Tiled Gallery.

I was just writing a blog post in the block editor the other day about a recent trip I took with my wife and friends to Tulum, Mexico. Being a travel blog post, of course it had images in it. Jetpack does a ton for me for those images:
- Hosts them on a CDN
- Optimizes them
- Generates responsive image syntax
- Lazy Loads them
That's... pretty awesome.
But it can do more. In some spots of the blog post, I went for a slideshow approach to save a little room on the page.
Which is entirely controlled as a fancy Gutenberg block:
I could have gone for a tiled gallery as well, which is a fancier version of the built-in gallery block.
That's an awful lot of helping out for posting and dealing with images.
