Hi there, Simon. 👋 It’s been a while — almost two months since the last newsletter! At the time, I needed to step back from WordPress news and, for lack of a better word, the drama. 🫣

But here’s the thing: the WordPress community is what fuels my passion, and I’m excited to dive back in! During my break, I also went through some personal changes — I left an amazing team at GoDaddy to join an equally awesome group at Bluehost.

This site has always been about you. While it’s been running in the background, I admittedly hit pause on development and updates. That all changes today. 🎉

Check out the New Features & Updates section below for all that's new in the last couple of weeks... er... months.

New Features and Updates

🪜 ICYMI: Employers on profiles: If you've added your employer to your .org profile, it's now pulled into your profile on The WP World. Coming soon: a field to hide or override this info 😄

🔑 Google login option: Is your user account also a Google email address? There's nothing to connect in the site! Choose the Google login option, log into your Google account, and you'll be redirected back to your logged in TWPW account!

🎙️ Seriously, a podcast? More on this in the next newsletter, but I've partnered with Bud Kraus and his Seriously, Bud? podcast to bring you the stories behind the Pressers.
