This guide is all about showing you how to use Gutenberg Animated Text Block to add some flair to your website. This tool lets you create animated text, perfect for headlines or important messages. You have two animation styles to choose from: a typing effect that mimics someone typing the text and a sliding effect that makes the text appear to slide in from off-screen. For the typing effect, you can control the speed of the typing and the delay before it starts and disappears. The sliding effect allows you to set how fast the text moves and how long it stays on the screen. There’s also a handy option to pause the animation if someone hovers over the text.
Go to the editor’s menu, select Gutenburg Animated Text Block, type in your text, and then adjust its look and position on your webpage
