We’re observing the holidays by staying pretty scarce around these parts – which isn’t too hard because this is a pretty quiet season for news and information around WordPress. We want to encourage you though to continue blogging and never ‘publishing,’ even if it’s just in your mind’s eye and head. Always be drafting is what we say around the office. Have a great time and remember the things that matter most. We’ll see all of you guys on the flip-side! And, of course, if you give (or get) anything sweet that’s related to WordPress then let us know! Love to see […]
