Happy New Year, {name}!

I had every intention of sending out the first newsletter of the year on the first day of the year, but I decided to leave my laptop closed. Truth be told, I spent A LOT of time with my family over the holiday break and it was just what I needed after a year of business travel, switching jobs, and the general community feeling in Q4.

But I'm back! The WP World is back! And events are back, starting with a couple of larger events in WordCamp Asia and PressConf - the latter of which I'll be attending 🎉

SPONSOR - Kinsta: Experience Speed, Security, and Reliability

New Features and Updates

🗓️ EVENTS are back! The events page in The WP World has been updated for 2025 and all the WordCamps (announced so far) are listed. Do you know of any non-WordCamp events that are missing? Reply and let me know!

📈 1700 Pressers: The site is now over 1700 Pressers strong and well on the way to 2000. That's almost the size of a small flagship WordCamp! Please make sure to tell your WordPress friends about the site 😄

🫶 Sponsorship available: Right at the end of 2024, GoDaddy joined the site as a sponsor (thank you!), but there are still two spots available for anyone who wants to help support the work happening here. More info on the Sponsorship page!

Do you sell online? Then you need Omnisend. Earn $73 for every $1 spent, doing basically nothing. Email and SMS marketing so effective, it’s almost boring.
