Web Design Solutions Digest for October 15, 2024
More crazy behavior from Matt Mullenweg, Divi 5 Alpha, retail marketing, paid SEO tools, GIMP, DJI Neo, Reddit, fancy ice and squadron bottle. Those of us who work with WordPress on a daily basis are exhausted by all of the bad behavior by Matt Mullenweg and it seems like there is no end in sight. There are likely more lawsuits coming and I don’t see any way for this to end until Matt is ousted. I sure hope sanity returns sooner rather than later. All of those headlines and the rest of the news this week are below.
