Hi from Steve. Welcome to the sixth issue of this Friday newsletter. My aim is to give you the most helpful news and updates for WordPress publishers. If you want more regular updates, join our Facebook group.
Vox Media Moves to WordPress VIP and Ditches Their Own CMS
WordPress has seen off another competitor. The Chorus CMS is being shut down. Not only will Vox (the owners of Chorus) retire the platform, but they will move their own sites to WordPress VIP.
How Ars Technica Runs WordPress
Ars Technica is one of the most popular tech blogs in the world and has been online for 25 years. They’ve just published a very detailed breakdown of their WordPress hosting stack. This is going to be the first of four articles.
More (AI) Links for WordPress publishers
Neither of these AI links directly touches on WordPress today, but I’m 99% sure we’ll see their impact soon. Because such a big percentage of publishers use WordPress, these new AI tools will almost certainly integrate with WordPress. You may be using them soon.
- The American Journalism Project announced a partnership with OpenAI worth “$5+ million”.
- Google is demoing a “Genesis” AI tool that can write news articles.
Thanks for joining us for this sixth issue.
I build WordPress tools for publishers at PublishPress, TaxoPress, MetaSlider, and Logtivity. Here at KinshiPress I write about what I’m seeing with publishers we deal with each day. This newsletter uses the Newsletter Glue plugin. Click here to email me anything, including tips for future issues.
