    I installed magazine pro over an older theme.
    I'm trying to reconstruct my home page.
    I no longer see Hoe Top, Home Middle, and Home Bottom widget areas.

    What am I missing?

    The new version of Magazine Pro is built using Blocks and not widgets. If you want widgets, you'll need to download the previous version of Magazine Pro.

    I'm ok with blocks. progress is good.
    However, I use a lot of text widgets and custom HTML on my homepage.
    As I begin to figure out how to use these blocks, I'm seeing post and page grids.
    Where can I get up to speed quickly on how to integrate other elements - such as texts and custom HTML?

    I'm getting a better sense of how this works. Most of the block programming seems to be in the area of using a post or a page.

    I liked working the text widgets, especially as they had the capacity to add images and some formatting. They were good for quick content that could be updated weekly or every few days without having to create a full post.

    Is there any good primers on how to configure something similar with blocks or atomic blocks?
