Wow! Happy New Year WordPressers! With the new year, I’m starting off #WordPressWednesday like a good girl despite how cold it is in my area of the world. It’s about 5° Fahrenheit, with a strong wind that makes it feel like -22° Fahrenheit. Brr!!! Wherever you are, I hope you’re warmer than I am.
So, for those just tuning into Blondish.net and not familiar with #WordPressWednesday, it’s like a weekly WordPress recap that picks up news from around the WordPress community. I do this because I love to try to keep up on WordPress, and I don’t always have the time to write about news. This post showcases other people who’ve got great news to share.
Please feel free to recommend other resources. I may or may not have them on my list, but it doesn’t hurt to leave a recommendation. 🙂
Enjoy!
