WordPress glossary for your customers
When you work with WordPress on a daily basis, it's easy to forget how many WordPress-specific terms there are that WP beginners may not even understand. Thanks to the "WP Glossary" website by Anders Norén, you can now provide your customers with a clear and easy-to-understand glossary of WordPress terms.

On foot to WordCamp Europe
Dutch WP consultant Marcel Bootsman will walk the 700 kilometers from Rotterdam to Berlin for WordCamp Europe in May 2019. Bootsman's aim is to raise awareness and donations for the WP Donate initiative. He is also looking for supporters to provide him with a place to sleep on his tour.

Web design

"Like Google, only for colors"

Gutenberg blocks for every taste
Many theme manufacturers and WP developers have already created their own blocks for the Gutenberg editor that fulfill certain functions, such as displaying recipes. To make these blocks easier to find, our colleagues at Editor Block have created a handy collection of blocks that you can search by theme.

Performance

100 themes in a performance comparison
The colleagues from Tidy Repo have tested one hundred popular themes from the official WordPress directory for their performance. An extra test environment was created to ensure fair conditions. The conclusion: "We expected only minor, statistical differences in our test results but ended up seeing significant differences. All themes are definitely not made the same!"
