I've been a podcasting maniac this week, so (between that and my job at Bluehost) it was a slower week for The WP World!

If you missed it, Seriously BUD? episode 50 came out on Friday and I got to be the guest host to interview Bud. Plus, I joined the crew at WP Builds for This Week in WordPress on Monday and recorded a Do the Woo episode that will come out in the next week or so. Whew.

🎂 Oh — and happy birthday to all the Pressers celebrating in March. It's the month with the most birthdays!

SPONSOR: Kinsta - Simply better hosting. Free first month. Free migration.

New Features and Updates

🎉 All (major) release contributions added: Did you know that the site has a page dedicated to every major WordPress release with its release date, codename, and the contributors? Now you do! This week, I added all of 2.x and 3.x to complete the lists.

📣 Social card tweaks: One of the final pieces using Google Maps has been replaced with Mapbox. In the process, I also made sure that Bluesky is represented as well on Presser social "open graph" images.
