Tutorials wanted for complete newbie

I've installed generate press and generate blocks but my knowledge is restricted to HTML. I know nothing about generating blocks, and my experience with Generate Press is in creating websites without using blocks. It is time that I learned to use elements and blocks, from the beginning. How can I learn?
I'm deaf so videos need to have the CC option.
Hi Ian,
I would recommend start by Googling or YouTubing "WordPress Gutenberg tutorials" to learn the basics.
Then you can take a look at some of our YouTube videos (only auto caption available):
https://www.youtube.com/c/generateblocks
https://www.youtube.com/c/generatepress
Unfortunately, videos are very time-consuming to create and update so some of them are not using the recent version.
Our documentation should be all up to update though:
https://docs.generatepress.com/
https://docs.generateblocks.com/
Another good way to learn is to import a couple of site library templates so you can go through the pages and see how they are built:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-site-library/
Hope this helps :)
Thanks for your helpful reply Leo.
I didn't even know that your block system is based on the Gutenberg block system.
Following your suggestions, I found an article that is just what I want to begin. As I am deaf, an article is very much more useful than a video.
I can see that your links to learning your block system will be very useful once I've learned the Gutenberg system.

No problem :)
