I’m going to start the #100DaysOfCode challenge and this could be considered as part “zero”.

You can follow the challenge on Twitter.

This was only a quick update and I tried using the normal Gutenberg editor instead of Elementor. The next one is a big guide about creating your own website so stay tuned for that!
