I must confess to having a bit of trouble adapting to block theme customization that doesn’t simply involve changing style rules in a CSS stylesheet.

For example, I’m not at all sure what to do to tweak the site header and nav bar. Would I make the necessary changes in the JSON file or CSS stylesheet? After all, the navigation block is limited in regard to handling padding and margins.

I usually tweak the CSS and PHP to get the desired look and functionality in a theme. That way, I know that I’ve locked in my changes.

I read through all the documentation on FullSiteEditing.com, but I’m not yet confident about being able to use FSE efficiently.

I’d appreciate any advice people can give me.

Thanks.
