@_pbrocks @WordCampLanc @paulbarthmaier Your a man of many names.

@WordCampLanc @paulbarthmaier In my own view I think block filters are important because they enable flexibility for developers to customize blocks to meet their needs without having to redo the whole block. Actions and filters are key to making WordPress more flexible.

@WordCampLanc @paulbarthmaier When you create a block all of the data for that block winds up in the database via an HTML comment embedded into the post_content field where the block should be rendered.

@WordCampLanc @paulbarthmaier You can’t create a block with just PHP (yet) you do need a little bit of JavaScript.
