After watching the live stream of [WordCamp US](https://2019.us.wordcamp.org/)
 this past weekend, I decided to spin up a site and to beta test all the new features coming out in the next few months and year with WordPress.

The block editor is something that I need to get used to and with the coming functionality in the pipeline, it’d be stupid not to try and use WordPress without a page builder.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the [Elementor plugin](https://elementor.com/)
, but if there is a way to do what I need without adding bulky plugins than I want to know how.

So, instead of blowing up one of my many other sites, I started [SethGoldstein.page](https://SethGoldstein.page)
 as a way to experiment.

Here’s to learning new things and expanding horizons.

Stay tuned.
