Hi folks.

I'm sorry to chime in here so late; I'm wondering if the title of this lesson makes sense in respect to its content?

When I see "How blocks are made" I think "making a block". So, I expect to see a lesson on how blocks (maybe core blocks, maybe custom blocs) are developed.

Looking at the content of this lesson, a more suitable title might be "The building blocks of WordPress templates" (if you'll pardon the intentional pun), "What makes up a template," or "How templates are made," as it dives into what makes up a template —WordPress blocks, their structure, and how they work within the scope of a template.

I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks @jonathanbossenger

That's helpful feedback!!

I agree with @jonathanbossenger in regard to the title. This is more about how a template/structure is and now exactly how blocks are made. I too thought thig was a developer tutorial when I saw the title and thought Jonothan had posted it in the channel.

The content is good discounting the title.

Thanks @jonathanbossenger and @digitalchild. Super valuable feedback 💯

The building blocks of WordPress templates is my favorite alternative.
