ISSUE #2 • NOVEMBER 29, 2023

At issue #2, I want to thank you for being part of this WordPress-centered community. You're awesome!

Each week on Wednesday, you'll get this email in your inbox that includes new features at The WP World, upcoming WordPress events, and Pressers looking for work.

What you won't find here is WordPress news. There are already many others out there doing that and I'd highly recommend subscribing to those.

With that out of the way, let's look at this week's newsletter.

🖼️ If you've nabbed that Photo Contributor badge (which requires only 1 contribution to the WordPress Photo Directory), your photos will now show on your Presser profile along with your contribution count!

🤩 Your Presser profile photo is automatically being pulled from your W.org profile or Gravatar. If you'd like to have a different one, you can now upload your own alternate photo.

🏛️ Until November 30th (tomorrow!), Business Directory listings are 50% off.

AND, you'll want to check out this list of Black Friday WordPress deal lists. Thanks again to Adam Weeks and Cirrus Influence for aggregating the links. 🙌

These folks are looking to be hired. Let's see if we can find them a professional home. 🏠

Are you looking for work? Make sure to update your Presser profile settings to be on this list next time!

I'll leave you with some things that are coming in the next few weeks. I'll be adding a way to note where you can be found in other communities (think Post Status, The WP Minute, Woo Community Slack, etc).

I'll also be looking at some toggles for hiding content on your profile. (Want to link to your site, but not show latest blog articles? No worries.)

Plus, I'll be continuing to work on some things under-the-hood to automate emails, streamline profile claiming, and increase performance.

It's a lot for one person, so be sure to make it worth it by sharing the site with your friends!
