So I wanna throw it out there to see what others think.\r\n\r\nGiven Blocks are now just text (plus images?) and will be filed under \"admin > content > block\" #1276, I was wondering if Notes might be a better name for Blocks.

I'm not sure about this. A \"note\" in my mind is what I would use within the \"Notes\" app on an iPhone (or Mac), the Keep app on an Android, or Microsoft OneNote. That is, a bullet list of things to remember or something I should do later. Obviously that's probably not part of most websites, but the terminology could end up causing users to stumble thinking that Backdrop had some sort of traditional Notes-like functionality. There are a lot of words reused in technology of course, but using the word \"Notes\" I think would be fraught with pre-existing expectations about what functionality they would provide."}}
