Block editor no fun

WordPress’s new block editor is the pits.

I used to be able to easily change the color of a font, now I can’t.

Used to be able easily to change font size by inserting html code, now I can, but it’s super-hard to do inside a blockquote.

Plus I don’t really grok what a block is anyway, so it’s not like I’m thrilled to finally have blocks.

I’ve just successfully changed the light grey default color of a blockquote to black (below). Let’s see if I have any idea how I did it when I want to do it again.

test: a blockquote in black, not grey

UPDATE 6:04: I may have just found the Classic editor. Time to stop obsessing over this & go make some more union calls.
