Another month comes to a close. Are you ready for March, Blake?

It's issue #50 🎉 Have you been a part of The WP World since the very first one? If so, thank you! If not, there's probably a lot of features you've missed, so this issue is dedicated to the top 10 things you (probably) didn't know you about The WP World.

Read on below ⬇️

SPONSOR: Infinite Uploads - Simplify offloading your WordPress media to the cloud.

Top 10 Features 🗺️
(that you probably didn't know)

1️⃣ 🗺️ Find Pressers in a specific location: the Proximity Search pages allows you to see who is in a particular city - whether you live there or not. Heading to a city for vacation? Find out who might be around to grab lunch or coffee!

2️⃣ 🫂 See Pressers by their communities: The WP World is a community of communities! Folks are part of other groups like Post Status, The Admin Bar, WebCami Cafe, or others. See who's where with the Find Me On page.

3️⃣ 🎂 Celebrate your fellow Pressers' birthdays! With everyone who's shared their birthday listed on one page, you can wish your #WPBesties a happy new revolution around the sun.

4️⃣ 🖼️ Upload a profile cover photo: Jazz up your Presser profile to help it stand out from the rest! In addition to uploading your own custom profile photo, you can also upload a cover photo, much like any social media account.

5️⃣ 🖥️ Share your preferred hosting provider: we all have one (or two, or three) web hosts that we choose again and again for new sites. Let the rest of The WP World know who you think is the best host on your Presser profile! (Then, go rate them on the recommended hosting page.)

6️⃣ 🫶 See past WordPress release contributors: check out who's behind your favorite web software of all time! Going back to version 4.0 (for now), you can see who has been a part of shaping 40%+ of the web.

7️⃣ 🤖 Get AI-generated ALT text for images: make sure your images have alt text for those who can't see the artwork. This free tool lets you upload an image or paste in an image's URL and get a pretty great alt description!

8️⃣ 🍝 Find (and share) local hotspots: WordCamps often have some downtime for you to explore landmarks and restaurants. Hit the "Explore" tab on any event page to see what's around. And make sure to submit your own if you have a favorite local dig!

9️⃣ 💛 Check out the library of WordCamp Wapuus: this cuddly mascot has been the star of many-a-WordCamp! Visit the Wapuu library to see the yellow character in lots of different outfits!

🔟 👕 Order something from the swag shop: okay, this one is a little self-serving, but each item is sold pretty close to cost. I just want to see you wearing a fun TWPW t-shirt or hat!
