[Michael_Kupiet] @bearina there's two similarly-named concepts in wordpress. There's "post types" (photo, gallery, quote, etc.) and there's "custom post types" which you create yourself but are more like "page", "post", "attachment" (which is media) etc. If you're talking about the first type I believe it's not really used unless you're using a WordPress theme that uses them; in that case, what they do would depend on the theme. But I believe the idea is
# [Michael_Kupiet] some themes allow you to have a "photo" post look different than a "quote" post, etc.

# bearina. [artlung] thank you for explaining, love your website! Great idea to customize the look and feel for this kind of post.
# bearina. [Michael_Kupiet]++ thank you so much! This clears up some confusion. I thought that the post types might be important for some reason I didn’t understand yet. Which would be not quite so comfortable to work with since the post types WP plugin can’t use the Gutenberg editor yet.

[tantek] bearina you want the /photo (for “normal” IG photo posts) and /multiphoto (for carousel / multiple photo posts). And /video for any reels or video posts

[aciccarello] Yeah, I love that 3d view of the CSS layers. Really helpful.

[artlung] Discussed in at least one or two HWC/FrESH meetings was the old Firefox 3D view. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/3d_view/index.html
