Over at WPTavern, Sarah wrote up an important issue as Gutenberg speeds toward delivery. (For those who haven’t followed, sometime about a month ago, it was announced that WordPress 5.0–the Gutenberg includer–would try to launch before American Thanksgiving, on November 19.)

I’ve always had pretty mixed feelings about the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. I still do.

Great reporting and case studies from the Tavern.

The three of us (Alex, David, and Fred) had the pleasure of being on last week’s WP Tavern podcast. We discussed what we’ve learned about teaching and learning WordPress development, and why we believe the WPShout Pro Community solves learning challenges that nothing else quite addresses.

Innovative usage of what Gutenberg is really good at.

I really liked the WordPress term glossary put out by Bridget Willard and the WordPress marketing team a few months back. This project seems to have no relationship to that other than a similarity of intent. What’s really cool about the WPGlossary.net from the Anders Norén is that it comes with a slick interface for searching and is just really pretty.

I realize this is local news, but we’re trying to make sure we sell out WordCamp Denver this year, which requires some exceptional effort. So if you’re near Denver, Colorado, and don’t have plans for Saturday July 28, you should come to WordCamp Denver. As I write this (Tuesday afternoon) I only see three spots in our Sunday workshops open! But we’ve still got plenty of tickets for Saturday 😊

I was recently for the WP Builds podcast. Nathan Wrigley was a warm and welcoming host, and we spent a lot of time talking about WordPress security.
