We love giveaways and the bigger the better, of course! WPBeginner‘s got probably one of the biggest giveaways in WP-land that I’ve seen in a while and the combined net-value is estimated to be close to $25,000! Yikes!
The WordPress Weekend Roundup
I hope you are having a very chill and relaxed weekend as we walk into the 4th of July week! Many of you are probably traveling this week and I hope you travel well and safely.

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day which means that every married man with kids (well, not all of them…) is fretting about doing something legit tomorrow.

The WordPress Weekend Roundup
Wow. Has this week been an interesting week or what? With people swirling around the GPL debate yet again there hasn’t been much else that people have been talking about – in fact, it’s generally been a fairly quiet week. Of course, we aren’t aware of everything happening in the WordPress universe (at least not yet), but here are a few things that you’ll want to check out that we weren’t able to tackle head-on in the past 168 hours. Enjoy your weekend folks!
