#WordPressWednesday 2014 Volume 8

It’s #WordPressWednesday! With WordPress 4.0 about to be release not long after this weekly roundup, I’ll most likely be covering the release in another post.

Surprisingly, not much on goodies in the themes area. It’s kind of tough to pick WordPress news from different theme companies because not all of them build and sell themes under the 100% GPL. I try to deliver articles that will uphold the same requirements that WordCamps do, especially on the software license.

I do want to mention that if you are reading this, and are a WordPress user, I also run All About WordPress, which is a support and discussion group. If you need WordPress support, feel free to ask there. Also, that group has a #WordPressWednesday event where it is the only day of the week that members are allowing to self-link to their own WordPress articles. We’re a group that doesn’t tolerate spam or a ton of self-promoting. We focus on discussions and adding value to the community.

Here’s this week’s #WordPressWednesday roundup!
