I kinda miss having serif fonts in the #WordPress UI.

This is an extremely esoteric thing, but #WordPress doesn’t offer an archive page for “standard” posts (within the “Post Format” taxonomy). URLs like `/type/status` work, but `/type/standard` doesn’t, since the “standard” Post Format is just the absence of a Post Format.

But if you navigate to `/type/foo`, it *does* send this string (`foo`) to the `WP_Query`; so `/type/standard` can be made to work, with a tiny little plugin I wrote:

Been spending some time over the last couple weeks trying to write my first block-based #WordPress theme.

Not only is the syntax redundant, poorly-documented, and difficult — it’s extremely limited in what you’re able to put on the page.

For instance, I can’t put an archive title inside my own `<h1>` with some prefix saying “This is the archive for: “, or something.

I find myself falling back to regular PHP enough that I’m not sure it’s going to be possible to build the theme I want.

#WordPress should add a “subtitle” field to core.

Of course you could use a custom field for this, but not every theme will use the same custom field key. This is the same reasoning they used to put Post Formats in core.
