Welcome to the Gutenberg Editor

Of Mountains & Printing Presses

The goal of this new editor is to make adding rich content to WordPress simple and enjoyable. This whole post is composed of pieces of content—somewhat similar to LEGO bricks—that you can move around and interact with. Move your cursor around and you’ll notice the different blocks light up with outlines and arrows. Press the arrows to reposition blocks quickly, without fearing about losing things in the process of copying and pasting.

What you are reading now is a text block the most basic block of all. The text block has its own controls to be moved freely around the post…

… like this one, which is right aligned.

Headings are separate blocks as well, which helps with the outline and organization of your content.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Handling images and media with the utmost care is a primary focus of the new editor. Hopefully, you’ll find aspects of adding captions or going full-width with your pictures much easier and robust than before.

Beautiful landscape
If your theme supports it, you’ll see the “wide” button on the image toolbar. Give it a try.

Try selecting and removing or editing the caption, now you don’t have to be careful about selecting the image or other text by mistake and ruining the presentation.

The Inserter Tool

Imagine everything that WordPress can do is available to you quickly and in the same place on the interface. No need to figure out HTML tags, classes, or remember complicated shortcode syntax. That’s the spirit behind the inserter—the (+) button you’ll see around the editor—which allows you to browse all available content blocks and add them into your post. Plugins and themes are able to register their own, opening up all sort of possibilities for rich editing and publishing.

Go give it a try, you may discover things WordPress can already add into your posts that you didn’t know about. Here’s a short list of what you can currently find there:

  • Text & Headings
  • Images & Videos
  • Galleries
  • Embeds, like YouTube, Tweets, or other WordPress posts.
  • Layout blocks, like Buttons, Hero Images, Separators, etc.
  • And Lists like this one of course 🙂

Visual Editing

A huge benefit of blocks is that you can edit them in place and manipulate your content directly. Instead of having fields for editing things like the source of a quote, or the text of a button, you can directly change the content. Try editing the following quote:

The editor will endeavor to create a new page and post building experience that makes writing rich posts effortless, and has “blocks” to make it easy what today might take shortcodes, custom HTML, or “mystery meat” embed discovery.

Matt Mullenweg, 2017

The information corresponding to the source of the quote is a separate text field, similar to captions under images, so the structure of the quote is protected even if you select, modify, or remove the source. It’s always easy to add it back.

Blocks can be anything you need. For instance, you may want to add a subdued quote as part of the composition of your text, or you may prefer to display a giant stylized one. All of these options are available in the inserter.

You can change the amount of columns in your galleries by dragging a slider in the block inspector in the sidebar.

Media Rich

If you combine the new wide and full-wide alignments with galleries, you can create a very media rich layout, very quickly:

Accessibility is important — don’t forget image alt attribute

Sure, the full-wide image can be pretty big. But sometimes the image is worth it.

The above is a gallery with just two images. It’s an easier way to create visually appealing layouts, without having to deal with floats. You can also easily convert the gallery back to individual images again, by using the block switcher.

Any block can opt into these alignments. The embed block has them also, and is responsive out of the box:

You can build any block you like, static or dynamic, decorative or plain. Here’s a pullquote block:

Code is Poetry

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

Pacific Logistics Service had its annual year-end banquet in Shanghai Crown Plaza Hotel.

This year’s theme is “Because You and I are together”. Main managers from other stations came to join with our Shanghai office. Top managers extended their sincere gratitude to all Yaad employees for their hard work throughout the year and made high expectations for the New Year. Each department prepared a lot of exiting entertainment programs, many of which were received warmly.

Happy New Year Yaad!

Pacific Logistics Service was honored to be one of the co-organizers for 2015 IATA World Cargo Symposium.

IATA WCS is the biggest and most influential one among the similar annual seminars. Over 1000 leaders from Air Cargo Industry joined this exciting event every year.

This year’s theme is “Improve User Experience”, which focused on how to achieve industry modernization in order to have better information transparency and more reliable and expectable services (including shortening transportation transit time by 48 hours).

This year’s IATA WSC was held in Shanghai, the development center of Air Cargo Industry in China. China Eastern/China Cargo is the primary sponsored airlines for this event.

Pacific Logistics Service attended 2015 Boston Seafood Show during Mar 14th – 17th.

Seafood Expo North America/Seafood Processing North America is the largest seafood trade event in North America. The event attracts over 20,000 buyers and suppliers of fresh, frozen, packaged and value-added seafood products, equipment, and services. Attendees travel from more than 100 countries to do business at the exposition. Pacific Logistics Service was honored to be one of the exhibitors this year and presented company’s capability of handling perishable freight to customers.

Pacific Logistics Service awarded as Top 2 Agent by Emirates Airlines

Emirates Airlines held the 2014 Top Cargo Agent Award Ceremony in Guangzhou Garden Hotel. Mr. Qu, Cargo Division General Manager of Emirates (China) attended the ceremony and presented the award to Yaad Logistics Guangzhou Branch as Top 2 Agent

Pacific Logistics Service organized a two-day team building and business conference in Beijing.

In order to strengthen management cohesion and to enhance exchanges and communication between colleagues, Pacific Logistics Service  organized a two-day team building and business conference in Beijing.

The two-day event was conducted through various team building activities, including Icebreaker, Tangram Management, etc. all of which enhanced understanding among colleagues and promoted active communication as well. The event also created opportunities for idea exchange among different stations. We appreciate the support and coordination from all stations and wish them the best to have more brilliant achievements in the future!

The airport logistics tour arranged with Pacific Logistics Service for the Foreign Agricultural Service this past June was very much appreciated by the Agency.

Of the 16 FAS staff who attended, several were new Foreign Service officers and the rest were members of the Junior Professionals group (a group comprised of up-and-coming FAS leaders). For all involved, it was a unique look at how agricultural shipments move through international boundaries. The tour helped us understand the jargon used in the air freight business, meet with the personnel who we may need to interact with, and understand the step-by-step order in which shipments move from the plane to being released to the importer. Even though Dulles Airport is a U.S. port of entry, having a hands-on understanding of the physical process and layout of an airport operation will undeniably translate to a better understanding overseas. This newfound knowledge will help FAS in providing better service to our constituents.

Pacific Logistics Service is awarded by Transport Topics as Top 40 Logistics Company and Top 25 Air Freight Forwarders!

The Transport Topics’ Top 50 is a listing of the largest logistics companies in North America including listings of the largest freight brokerage firms, freight forwarders, warehouse operators and dedicated contract carriage service providers. Companies are ranked on the basis of actual or estimated annual net revenue and include a description of services and industry expertise. The Top 50 presentation includes separate listings of companies in each of five logistics sectors.

Pacific Logistics Service gets recognition from Air Cargo World Power 25 “Three to watch for the next year”! The other 2 followers are DSV and UPS Supply Chain Solutions.

The Power 25 list was compiled with the help of Armstrong & Associates, Inc., a U.S.-based supply chain consulting firm, which ranked the top 25 largest forwarders based on their 2015 air tonnage. Revenue information and tonnage figures for 2015 are either reported by the companies or estimated by Armstrong & Associates. Revenues have also been converted into U.S. dollars, based on the average exchange rate in order to make non-currency- related growth comparisons.
