I used the photo gallery on my doodads post today as a tester and I like it. It’s easier than going back to the editor to do captions on each picture and no need to plug the link into each to enlarge them in a new window. Thanks WordPress!

Question: when you go to compose a new blog post, do you have an option to choose which blocks to use? If so, you should be able to scroll down that list and see gallery. If you don’t have options of which block to use, then I am thinking you can’t use it.
