OpenLampTech - WordPress Wednesday #1

WordPress is changing and moving at a breakneck speed. Stay on top of what's happening in the ecosystem with OpenLampTech WordPress Wednesdays.

It seems like WordPress is updating and changing at such a pace that it's a full-time gig just keeping up with it.

That’s where I come in and why you are here.

I’m not a WordPress developer, professional, or guru.

However, I am a WordPress blogger and user and I am interested in learning WordPress.

All that said, I search for and read a lot of WordPress-related content and am creating the OpenLampTech WordPress Wednesday section to share the best articles I can find.

All on WordPress.

I liked these articles for this OpenLampTech WordPress Wednesday #1 for June 29th, 2022.

🗒️ Note: There are many many articles linked in this first issue of OpenLampTech WordPress Wednesday but future pieces won’t likely have this many. I have been thinking about this type of content for a while now and so I have amassed quite the number of articles I wanted to include in this initial issue.
