Issue 90 of The Content Academy Weekly Wrap
WordPress Version 4.9
WordPress pushed out a update release this week which means a handful of new user features and a bunch of bugs squashed.  This release comes with some rather simple, yet useful developer centric tools including updates to the WordPress Customizer with locking and design scheduling tools.  Most importantly, this update preps WordPress for the upcoming Gutenberg Editor which will change the way we use WordPress. More on this in the coming weeks. Be sure to prep yourself with these important changes now available and coming down the line. 

WordCamp US - Nashville, TN

WordCamps happen all over the world as local WordPress user conferences to share ideas, tips and WordPress love.  Each year, there is one “national” conference called WordCamp US and it’s just about two weeks away in Nashville, TN.   I’m headed to WordCamp US and will be sure to bring back any good nuggets of information I find.    

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and happy cyber-weekend shopping! :)   See you again in December.   - Scott
