Website updates for WordPress 6.7

[ndiego]

This issue is related to #506, but will encompass additional elements of the site that need to be updated alongside the Microsite.

• [x] Homepage "See what's new" blurb (WIP mockup)
• [x] Button link to microsite on Blocks landing page

I will add additional info here as work progresses.

Button link to microsite on Blocks landing page

This link is using a shortcode, so it will update automatically when the release is out ✅

Homepage "See what's new" blurb

I've added Block Visibility, so I think you could do this with the "Hide block" toggle— the new content (blurb and any new alt text) needs to be saved on the page so that it can run through the translations, but of course it shouldn't be visible until the release is launched. (I suggest "hide block" instead of the date-based option since we don't know exactly when the release will be, but it will require another update & deploy on launch day)

This my first pass at the homepage blurb (Figma), but it needs some design help @jasmussen 😅 The main thing to focus on is the text, since that needs to be finalized by the end of the week.

Nice!

Two quick remixes:

Looks great. I think I like the one with the dark background on the "Publish" image, but defer to @WordPress/meta-design.

I added this to the homepage to see what it would look like all put together:

As the only dark thing in that row, I may be slightly leaning towards the light one. But not at all a strong opinion.

Sounds good, here's the updated version. It does feel more balanced. @ryelle, I have saved this content on the page and hidden it with BV in case you see the autogenerated PR come through.

FYI @ryelle: I just double-checked the updates, and it looks like I missed the alt text on the "Extend" image. I updated this, and it should be reflected in the PR soon.
