HeroPress Network Updates For May 26, 2023
A bit of a thin week this week, I was quite sick and slept most of the week. Same reason there wasn’t a newsletter last week. There’s still some great stuff though.
HeroPress.com
Rita Robles Loaiza is from Cartago Province, Costa Rica. She was living a successful happy life and then it all went sideways. Finding WordPress gave her a new path forward.
WordPress changed my life, put it in order and gave me guidelines to grow personally and professionally, the opportunity that the Universe gave me is called WordPress and all my life I will be grateful for that.
Rita’s essay is available on HeroPress.com in both English and Spanish! There’s even audio of the Spanish in Rita’s own voice.
ALSO! In the post there’s an interactive photo of Rita’s desktop, brought to you by the good folks at Draw Attention. Check it out!
HeroPress.com LAST WEEK
I missed the newsletter last week, but there was an essay that was great, and you should get to see it.
Ericka Barboza is from San José Province, Costa Rica. She fell in love with the WordPress community and then it fell in love with her, allowing her to find a job in WordPress.
WordCamp Miami showed me the other side of the WordPress Community, one that extended far beyond my country’s borders.
Ericka’s essay is available on HeroPress.com in both English and Spanish!
BONUS: I learned from Rita that she and Ericka are good friends. I didn’t know that when I met them!
WordCamp Europe!
WordCamp Europe is happening VERY soon, in just a few short weeks. If you’re not able to attend there will be live streams of all of the talks. If you’re on Twitter watch the hashtags #WCEU and #WCEU2023.
Whether you attend in person or virtually I’d love to hear about it! Please join the HeroPress Slack and let’s talk!
WPPhotos.Info
This week’s WPPhotos Info is called “Foggy Forest“.
Nastia Kolomoytseva was at a music festival on Seli Mountain, in Greece. She was looking up the mountain and the fog was coming down covering the tresst.
