In the Spotlight
Post Status professional member Taco Verdonschot is in the spotlight this week. Taco joined Yoast back in 2013. In addition to his work there, he’s an amazing WordPress contributor and community member.
Post Status professional member Michele Butcher-Jones is also in the spotlight this week. Michele is a lover of all things Open Source, a WordPress Core Contributor, an international speaker, and an avid campaigner to leave the world in a better place.
Join Us on Meetup
2022 gave us great opportunities to create and learn from the huddles we created. We loved meeting people through Zoom and sharing with and learning from one another. And we want to take that and grow it. So we’re retiring huddles (for now) and transitioning into meetups that are targeted for your growth: Post Status Professionals, Post Status Agency Owners, and Post Status Product Owners.
Join the Post Status meetup and then RSVP for the meetups that best meet your needs (one, two, or all three).
