 * Hello,
    Can you point me to a good tutorial for using the Block Editor for Widgets?
   I am relatively new to the Gutenberg editor but find it easy to use creating 
   Pages and Posts. Using it to edit Widgets however has been difficult for me.
 * I have been developing with Divi the last couple years and hand-coding HTML widgets
   with the Classic Editor. This process results in exactly the look and functionality
   I want.
 * I am trying to recreate one of my HTML Widgets using the Block Editor.
 * In the block editor it is difficult for me to tell which Widget I am editing 
   because the widgets are displayed with no clear boundaries setting them apart.
   I don’t understand the reasoning behind that “feature”.
 * I am trying to integrate several Block types into the same Widget to get the 
   look I need. The widget needs a Paragraph up top with white letters and an image
   below that which already has a black background and a Image-Link button on the
   bottom with a black background. All 3 blocks are contiguous with no margin between
   them. The effect is that of a single black-background graphic with a clickable
   button.
 * I create the widget beginning with a Paragraph Block at the top. But when I press
   enter add an Image below below the Para it appears that the editor creates and
   entirely new Block Widget. So continuing the process for all 3 blocks, trying
   to recreate my Widget “graphic”, results in 3 widgets separated by spaces. Not
   what I was hoping for.
 * So what am I missing? I have done some searching and have not found the documentation
   to answer my questions.
 * Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
