I have been hinting several places online that I would finally start up an effort to gather quality WordPress posts from around the WordPress and blogging community that were recently published. Recent articles published qualify at the latest, 1 month.
I would like to try to keep #WordPressWednesday as evergreen as possible, but it will be put in the news area and have a sliding banner on my front page linked to the tag for it.
