## This is an H2

Most of your content should be contained in H2 subheadings.

In version 4.0.0 and later, body font-sizes have been standardized across all themes
at 16px. Headings have been standardized using "em", meaning a multiple of the 16px
body-font size.

For more details, [see this blog post](https://feastdesignco.com/how-to/font-size-for-food-blogs/).

### This is an H3

H3 can be used to sub-categorize your content under H2 headings. You typically won't
need to use these when making recipes posts.

#### This is an H4

H4 is relatively uncommon, except in technical documentation. As a food blogger,
anything you consider using for H4 should be either bumped up to H3, or simple paragraph
text.

##### This is an H5

No real application for this outside of technical and legal documents.

###### This is an H6

Why even bother at this point?

Right Gallery Image

Galleries are new to the block editor, removing the need for plugins. The captions
are relatively simple to create.

Testing will be needed to see what sizes are loaded for various devices (desktop,
tablet, mobile). Mobile is the most important, making up approximately 75% of pageviews
for most food blogs in 2018 and on.

Too many images can slow down your page.

## Ingredients

Unordered lists are a great way to display information that doesn't have a sequence,
like ingredients.

 * This is an unordered list block
 * This is the second item in the list
 * Use unordered lists to create lists in which the sequence isn't important

The Feast Plugin now also has custom styling for button links, using your brand:

## Instructions

Use ordered lists to display lists that have a specific sequence to follow, like
instructions.

 1. This is an ordered list block
 2. It's good to itemize sequential steps or items in an ordered list
 3. Using lists to break up your content and make it easier to parse is a good user-
    experience practice

## Fractions

The Feast Plugin contains an enhancement to [convert text-based characters to fractions](https://feastdesignco.com/convert-text-to-fractions/),
so that you get ½ instead of 1 / 2 and ¼ instead of 1 / 4.

## Acronyms

The Feast Plugin contains an enhancement to [convert recipe acronyms](https://feastdesignco.com/convert-recipe-acronyms/)
to improve screen reader accessibility, so that it reads the word **teaspoon** instead
of "tee ess pee" and **tablespoon** instead of "tee bee ess pee".

## Group block

You can group blocks together into a group block!

## Yoast FAQ

Use the Yoast FAQ block to add FAQ schema to your posts, which helps generate "People
also asked" snippets in search engines.

## Quotes

> Blockquotes are a great way to emphasize an important piece of your content.

> You can also turn the blockquote into a citation by providing a "citation". This
> is a great way to reference content on another site.
