Let’s create a stylish and minimalistic about block with the help of the Gutenberg WordPress editor. In the first instance, pick a cover block and set a background.

Fortunately, there are plenty of functions, which you can use to make about block kickier. Let’s make it full width and set the horizontal and vertical position for the image. Fixed background will be relevant in case your about section is lengthy.
