Creating About Page

I wanted to make something interesting on my About page, but honestly I’m too shy to talk about myself. :S

So, I decided to start with what I love: use some dynamic content to have ability to reuse the Listing on other pages.

WordPress Blocks I used

1. Simple paragraph block
2. Image block
3. Listing Grid by JetEngine block:

4. Social media icons

Why and How to Create Listing Grid?

The idea was to have a page with my future accomplishments that could be displayed as a block on pages like ‘About.’ That’s why a simple list of items seemed like the best approach.

So, the I followed this tutorial and made the following:

Created Custom Post Type ‘Expertise’

Added Meta Field ‘My reflections’

Usually I write post-exprations after big event, so I wanted to add the buttom with link to the article.

Created Listing ‘My experience’

After that, I created Listing:

And chose what I want to see in my Listing Grid:

• heading as Dynamic field -> post object – Title;
• Image as Dynamic Image -> source – Post Thumbnail;
• short description as Dynamic field -> post object – Excerpt;
