Are we really halfway through the first month of the year already? Looks that way. The break gave me some time to reflect on the past year of The WP World and where I'd like to take it this year. I have some great ideas and some big ambitions, but I'll need your help with some of it. More on that later.

The event listing pages got a refresh late last year, so it's only fitting that I continue down that path with updates to the individual event pages. It's not done, but the cleanup effort has begun! Check out some event pages for a new look with more to come...

🎂 Happy Birthday 🎁

I meant to have this section in the first email of the month, but forgot all about it. Here are this month's birthdays!

Eleonora Anzini (4), Jem Turner (7), Derek Hanson (13), Makarand Mane (15), Cameron Jones (16), Foster Coburn (22)

Update your profile now and set your birthday so you can be included when it's your month.
