# Learn about the different blocks that can be added to your text editor within pages, resources, blogs, and Communities

"Blocks," which are used to add a variety of different sections to help organize important descriptive text and information for your users in a visually appealing way, can be added to a page, resource, blog, or Community.

If you’re curious about the value of the block feature and are hoping to learn more about what blocks are, feel free to check out our support article [here](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/5397323-add-a-block-to-your-blog-or-page-descriptions-to-format-content-for-your-audience-in-a-visually-appealing-way).

To include a new block on a resource, page, or blog, first navigate to either Publish\>Pages, Publish\>Resources, or Publish\>Blogs, and click the ‘+’ sign from the description section, as shown below:
