Course: Deciding when and how to switch to a block theme

[annezazu]

What

Inspired by Carolina's great resource here, I think we need a course helping folks know when and how to switch a block theme:

https://fullsiteediting.com/site-creators/switch-your-website-to-full-site-editing/

This would include practical actions to take ahead of time, current limitations to help folks make a good decision, and what to expect after switching. I imagine it could be written from an end user perspective with perhaps an "advanced" section at the end for site owners/builders.

Why

While more and more folks are entering the block theme world outright with the newest versions of WordPress, there are many more who need guidance to see whether they should make the switch and how best to do so if they want to. Right now, there's not a lot of guidance here and a practical course would go a long way to demystify this process.

Note: I opened this using a blank template as the starter templates weren't clear to me 😬 Happy to add whatever information is needed.

I like this idea very much and I know Sarah was working on a lesson plan for migrating from a Pagebuilder to the block editor which could potentially be part of this course.

@westnz and @wparasae have a better understanding of the Course workflow than I do.

Great suggestion and something we will look at closer once the Block Theme Development courses are finished.

@westnz Now that the Theme Development courses are completed, could you see if this topic is covered in those?

I will touch base with @wparasae about this. Thank you for bringing this to the forefront.
