This week is the fifth anniversary of the Gutenberg Times. This newsletter, curated by Birgit Pauli-Haack, is a key resource to learn about the WordPress Block Editor and the Gutenberg project. Want to extend our congratulations and thanks to Birgit and her team for this great resource!

Here is a short (11.5 minutes) overview of the latest site-building capabilities that are being added to WordPress. These enhancements to the WordPress Site Editor are presented by Anne McCarthy, a WordPress Product Liaison from Automatic.

The WordPress core team published a proposed planning calendar for WordPress 6.2, the next major release of the platform. It is targeted for release in late March 2023.

This year's State of the Word presentation by the co-founder of the WordPress project Matt Mullenweg will be held this Wednesday December 15, 2022. The event will kick off at 1 pm EST. It is being held in New York City and will be live-streamed on WordPress TV.

Wanted to extend our congratulations to the team at Creative Themes. On Friday, they announced that the Blocksy theme had reached a major milestone with 100, 000 active installations. It has been a key part of our WordPress toolset since 2020.

We shared our take on the WordPress 6.1 release earlier this month. Here are some other recommended overviews that will help you explore the new features in the release.

The team at Creative Themes launched Blocksy Pro today. The Blocksy theme is a solid lighting fast theme with a rich set of customization capabilities. We have been using it for several months here at Outcome Labs and it has become our go to solution for most new projects.
