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 features that made a splash on Hot Off the Press last week:
- If you’re a niche blogger looking for more traffic, you’d want to read these handy tips.
- Poets and poetry-lovers: we’re celebrating National Poetry Writing Month on WordPress.com throughout April! You might also be interested in these features for publishing poetry on your blog.
- We welcomed three beautiful themes last week, and rounded up some great sites using Motif.
- In the mood for a laugh? Check out our profile of the humor writers behind group blog Long Awkward Pause.
Pro tip of the week: Would you like linked images to open in a new window or tab? Once you’ve inserted the image, click on the pencil icon in the top-left corner of the image, click on “Advanced Options,” and check the “Open link in a new window/tab” box.
Coming up this week
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements and features this week, including:
- Tips on building an attractive homepage,
- A community focus on autism-related blogs,
- And more…

Really enjoy these re-caps, Ben. Sometimes I miss stuff and this fills in the gaps. Any chance you can do a personal re-cap of my week each Monday? I seem to have a lot of missing gaps there, too… 😉
Thank you for reinstating the ‘open in separate window’ click: it saves an enormous amount of manual coding.
I have just begun reading these posts and anticipate some helpful tips. It may take me some time but your information is appreciated.B
Love these posts, and the way it is written, what i yet miss as a blogger is the ability to write in my own personal and unique way, but i am sure after some time it will come up itself 🙂
