We focus on the following stories:

WordPress 5.6 Field Guide
WordPress 5.6 brings you the best features and enhancements to help end 2020 on a positive note! An all-women and non-binary release squad lead the development of new features and resolved defects that benefit users and developers alike.

Something To Be Thankful For
"Over the past several weeks, I have received around four dozen emails, texts, PMs, and other messages related to Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Last year, we ran a roundup of deals happening throughout the WordPress ecosystem. However, we are not running such a post this year. [...] I firmly believe that our readers would rather see what we have to say about a particular product than simply scroll through a list of offers that are already widely shared on Twitter, Facebook, and elsewhere."

Kinsta APM Tool - Application Monitoring Tool for WordPress
"Kinsta APM is our custom-designed performance monitoring tool for WordPress sites. It helps you identify WordPress performance issues, and it’s free for all sites hosted on Kinsta."

WordPress 5.7 Wish List: Save Block Editor Settings Per User
"In WordPress 5.7, I want the block inspector tabs and some block option defaults to remain the same each time I write a new post."

Build Editor Blocks for Clients With the Genesis Custom Blocks Plugin
"In early September, WP Engine announced the launch of Genesis Custom Blocks, a block-creation plugin made possible by its StudioPress team. The concept should feel familiar to developers who have made use of Advanced Custom Fields and similar plugins. However, the focus of this new plugin is entirely on blocks."

Running a growing WordPress plugin company with Shahjahan Jewel
"There are some companies in the WordPress space that are very much on the rise and today we’re speaking to Shahjahan Jewel about his company WP Manage Ninja, and they certainly are rising!

Mysterious metal monolith found in the wilds of Utah by team of biologists
"A strange monolith has been found in the wilds of Utah after a state employee spotted it from a helicopter. The employee found the structure while counting sheep from the sky. The monolith is estimated to stand between 10 and 12 feet high, and appeared to be hidden amongst the rocks and planted into the ground."
