Why Are WordPress’ Reusable Blocks So Helpful?

Do you use reusable blocks? I think they are fantastic! And I use one in every single post (yep, it’s the one at the end of each post).

But why are they so useful? In which circumstances can you use them?

You can use them for advertising

I’ll start with the reason I’m using them. Instead of having a blurb you keep copying and pasting every time, you can create a reusable block to add the product you want to promote at the end of each post.

As I mentioned in my post regarding 3 free ways to promote your book, if your readers come directly from reader (which often happens), they won’t see the widgets on your website. That’s why it is important to do your promotions in your every single post (preferably at the end). You can advertise your book(s) or a product you love and you want to share with others.

You can use them in series

If you start a series of some kind (e.g. daily questions or things like that), you might need to consider having the same image in every post. This is where a reusable block comes in hand. You don’t have to manually add your image every single time. Create a reusable block and then you can add it in every post.

Change all of them at once

Let’s say you don’t like the way a particular block looks like, but you already used it in dozens of posts. If you used the copy/paste method, then you need to go to every single post and manually change that block. However, if you used a reusable block, it is enough to change it in one post and it will automatically change if all of them.

In this writing world, I think we need to use everything we have in had to make our path smoother. The writing itself can be challenging enough, don’t you think?

How often and for what do you use reusable blocks?
