Friday’s Marketing Roundup: Good Reads for December 20th

Friday ReadsHappy Friday! It seems everyone is settling down the for the holidays and the internet is slowing to a crawl. Before you head off to that holiday event, take a moment and check out our list of interesting blog posts, news and articles.

Our content this week includes a variety of articles from best practices to reviews of SEO changes in 2013. I think my favorite posts are those that talk about my beloved WordPress community. Carrie Dils writes a raw post about her year in 2013 and Matt Medeiros talks about why he loves our community so much. What is even cooler is the WordPress community’s effort to raise funds so Justin Tadlock can buy his dream house. We donated and I’m glad we did, because it is a small gesture to help support our fellow developers. In the land of WordPress, we have each others back and Justin’s house adventure is just another example of this focus on community.
