How to add Skill List to a Gutenberg website

Embed Skill List on Gutenberg

01

Create a Skill List plugin for Gutenberg on Common Ninja

First, create a Gutenberg Skill List plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Skill List and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Skill List plugin

When you're done creating the Skill List plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Skill List Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Skill List plugin to your Gutenberg website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Gutenberg website.

04

Paste the code to your Gutenberg website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Gutenberg website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Gutenberg’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Skill List Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Skill List plugin on your Gutenberg website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Skill List plugin on your Gutenberg plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Gutenberg website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Skill List plugin to your Gutenberg website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Gutenberg website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Skill List widget when you need to present abilities or qualifications in a way that is easy to scan and feel credible. Instead of burying skills in paragraphs, a structured list highlights each skill clearly, often with levels, icons, or brief context. This is perfect for personal portfolios, resumes, team competency pages, and service sites that sell expertise. Visitors can quickly understand your strengths and fit without effort, which improves trust and decision speed. The list format also helps you group skills by category, making complex profiles feel organized and intentional. A clear skill list increases your perceived professionalism and supports better outcomes in hiring, partnerships, or client acquisition.
