Happy Friday and happy 2014! We’re looking forward to another exciting year in the land of internet marketing. With all the changes that occurred last year, 2014 looks like it will be an adventure.

This week was a busy news week. Product updates were released for Genesis and Gravity Forms, while a new WordPress app framework called AppPresser arrived.
