#WordPressWednesday 2013 Volume 11

It’s interesting, some #WordPressWednesday are more on development, others on regular news, and then sometimes there are a lot of interesting theme’s released.

I’ve decided to start including in my recap on newly released plugins in the WordPress plugin repository as I’ve been wanting to add this for some time. This allows you to check them out and see how they are. There are a lot plugins out there, but as users, we won’t know how well a plugin will work unless someone tries it.

I’ve noticed there’s been quite a few posts put out in Make.WordPress.org this past week that for those who are developers, or those interested in the progress behind the next WordPress release can keep updated.
