What are blocks and why should I use them?

The WordPress Block Editor is like a box of Lego, with different designs of bricks that you can use to build a post. 

The bricks are blocks. Some blocks offer you an easy way to way of adding and customising particular types of content to your post, such as pre-formatted text, images, and embedded links to audio and video content. Other blocks help you layout your post the way you want it to be.

Your finished post is built out of blocks, assembled in the shape you want them to be, without you having to use any shortcodes, custom HTML or code.
