If you missed it, I felt pretty rough the last few days leading up to PressConf. In an effort to get right before traveling, I didn't do any work on The WP World and just rested. Thankfully, I managed to get healthy enough to get on a couple of planes and make it to Tempe, Arizona — location of PressConf!

This week promises to be filled with conversations about the future of WordPress, continuing ongoing relationships, and discussing new business opportunities. I can't wait to see what's in store for this inaugural (but also not technically inaugural) business of WordPress event!

If you find yourself around the Tempe Mission Palms this week, {name}, make sure you come say "hi", let's chat collaboration, and ask me for a sticker!

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

New Features and Updates

* Repeated from last week in case you missed it!

📋 Get Hired: The new Get Hired page in the site features openings from Post Status, jobs.WordPress.net, and WP Remote Work — in addition to showcasing contributors who are looking for sponsorship.

🗺️ Map avatars: If you check out the maps on the home page and Presser Listing page, you'll notice that the Ⓦ pins are out and avatars are in. This community is a collection of real people, not pins on a map, so I wanted it to reflect that better.

🛍️ EVEN MORE NEW shop items: With upward of 50 products in the store — including exclusive items from HeroPress and Post Status — the store is becoming a great source of WP and web swag!
