Post Status Podcasts Post Status Comments — The First Annual WordPress News Draft European Edition
“I totally rely on [the community] now… it’s like an extended family… it means a lot to me and I’m glad that everybody’s hanging on in there with me.” —Nathan Wrigley
After the first Post Status WordPress News Draft went so well, we decided to do a more European timezone-friendly version. The group of news “avengers” that assembled in this episode are Winstina Hughes, Tammie Lister, Nathan Wrigley, Amber Hinds, Yvette Sonneveld, and Malcom Peralty — with David Bisset hosting. In three rounds of draft picks, this group assembled new and interesting picks of the most noteworthy or influential WordPress news stories of 2021.
Also: Video recordings of some of our members' single biggest news picks were included in this episode.
Post Status Comments 💬 is a stage for WordPress professionals to exchange ideas and talk about recent topics and trends.
