This is part 2 of a series. The ticket for part 1 is here: https://github.com/WordPress/developer-blog-content/issues/238

Discussed in https://github.com/WordPress/developer-blog-content/discussions/231

Originally posted by **justintadlock** March 1, 2024 In #222 and #225, I introduced the Block Bindings API. But I should stress that these were merely very basic introductory posts on a vast subject that will empower developers to do some really powerful things with WordPress 6.5+. With the introduction out of the way, it's time to showcase what folks can really do with this API in more of a real-world use case. I still need to map out the full plan for this, but my general idea is this: - Developer is building a site that is slightly more complex than a regular blog. _Book review website?_ - Requires custom post meta for data (e.g., rating, ISBN number, etc.). - Uses a custom Editor Plugin to add fields for entering metadata in the post sidebar. - Needs a custom post template for different structure. - Needs a custom archive template with custom Query Loop variation. - Uses the Block Bindings API to render post metadata. - Needs the Block Variations API for inserting blocks that are bound to post meta. - Could use some patterns for use in the theme and by the user with the Block Bindings already in place. - It could also showcase Block Locking to control what the user can change. Essentially, this post (maybe even series) could touch on a lot of features in WordPress and show how developers could bring them together from Point A to Point B.

Went through both reviews from @ndiego and @bph. I'll do a final pass and cleanup tomorrow, June 6, before publishing.
