Doc’s WordPress News Drop is a weekly report on the most pressing WordPress news. When the news drops, I will pick it up and deliver it right to you. In this week’s News Drop we talk about Camp Press, a series of camping events meant to encourage WordPressers to take a break from the digital world and reconnect with each other. We also talk about DonateWC, a charitable organization hoping to help send WordPress users to WordCamps that they couldn’t ordinarily afford to attend. We also recently published a great interview with Ines van Essen about DonateWC’s goals in 2018. […]

Everything is done through WordCamp Central. You can log in, choose the WordCamp you want to update and change the status to everything from “Needs More Info” to “Scheduled.” When a WordCamp is first added, […]
