WordCamp Europe, Divi Workspaces, Claude Fable, vibe coding, product feeds, typography, audience loyalty and a psychedelic hamburger. I’ve been busy behind the scenes migrating Unleashed sites from Divi 4 to Divi 5. That includes this site. Hopefully the process was seamless enough that you didn’t notice the change. But now that it has been made, I’m able to take advantage of the new Divi features to make the site even better. You’ll find the stories from this week’s news below, so make sure to get caught up.
For those of you in the world of Web design, I invite you to join our new Divi Unleashed Facebook group.
