WordPress Blocks are a variety of elements that you can add to your page. You can make paragraph blocks, where you write text. Image blocks, where you can add a selected image. Video blocks where you can add a video and the list goes on.
This is the video. Below the video are the written steps.
How to add WordPress blocks
There are two places where you can add WordPress blocks indicated by the two red arrows in the image below.
Side note: The add block button icon is the plus sign in a circle.
Block categories
As you can see below when you click on the add block button it will give you a search bar and it will show you the most used blocks. These are blocks that you use the most often.
If you were to scroll down, you will see additional block categories you can choose from. As seen below.
Common blocks are WordPress blocks that people use a lot. Like paragraphs, images, and lists.
Formatting has blocks like code, tables, and custom URL
Layout elements have blocks like buttons, page breaks, and columns.
If you click on the last icon in the bar it will give you different options that you can do with the block. As you can see below.
Add block to page
Once you find a block that you want, simply click on it and it will be added to the page. From there you can edit the block to your liking.
The example I went with below is that I added an image block to the page under the text block that says “testing, testing 123” and now I can edit it by either uploading a new image or by going to my media library and then choosing an image from there. once you do that the image will appear in the block.

From here you can continue to add blocks to edit your page.
