In our fast-moving lives, it’s easy to sometimes miss out on great things. Before starting a new week on WordPress.com, be sure to check out the news that made a splash on Hot Off the Press last week:
- You can now embed gorgeous visuals from Getty Images into your sites — for free.
- Try out one of these new, striking themes: Sixteen Nine, The Writer, Broadsheet, and Wedding.
- Speaking of themes, we also showcased great blogs using Syntax, and looked at some sleek image sliders.
- You’ll be blown away by the achievements of WordPress.com bloggers last month — both individually and community-wide.
Coming up this week
Stay tuned for another wave of news and features this week, including…
- A look at how different gallery formats can help showcase your images,
- An update from community members who are translating WordPress to dozens of languages,
- And more…
