subsites):

   to WP Playground, starter guides and your entry point to WP Playground Docs.
 * [**Blueprints**](https://developer.wordpress.org/playground/blueprints) – Blueprints
   are JSON files for setting up your WordPress Playground instance. Learn about
   their possibilities from the Blueprints docs hub.
 * 👉 [**Developers**](https://developer.wordpress.org/playground/developers) (you’re

   the things you can do with it from your code in this Developers docs hub.
