I moved this to the review column. I hope that was ok 🙂

[jonathanbossenger]

Thanks, @bsanevans. The reason I have not moved this to be reviewed yet, is I'm waiting on some feedback from my other Create Block Theme tutorial first, as this one follows directly on from that one.

I'm also waiting on any specific updates on the dark theme colors post, as I may have to edit the other tutorial to use any new colors defined. Once I've done that, I'll feel happy to make this available for review.

So for now I've taken this out of the review cycle, and I'll add it when I've wrapped up the review on the other tutorial.

I have reviewed the video for technical accuracy and overall helpfulness and give it my 👍 . It pares nicely with the Create Block Theme tutorial.

Excellent video tutorial. Very clear, logical and informative. I think it is good to go.

Font Management with the Font Library

[jonathanbossenger]

The Font Library has been moved to WordPress 6.5. Additionally, we should rather include this content when creating the Intermediate Theme Developer learning pathway.
