I’m using this on a couple of my websites now, and I’m going to show it to my WordPress
students as an alternative to the regular image block. Thanks Ron!

Ronald is an amazing developer as well as a great human. I love that he thought 
to create a photo block where the user (like me) could create a global style and
save it. It’s not buried somewhere in global patterns, no. All I have to do is hit
the + sign, type “photo block,” and choose the icon. It’s perfect for team photos
or anytime you just want photo + text but don’t want to mess around trying to “fix”
the default photo/text blockI also love the cropping feature. It saves me time from
having to edit an existing photo in Canva and reupload it. I’m now changing all 
of the pages on my site to use this block and I can’t wait to add it to my client
sites, too!
