- Social Media stats
- WordPress continued to hold steady this week. We gained 362 net-new followers over the week and saw some good results from individual platforms such as Instagram and LinkedIn. Twitter continued to see losses (-258) as more people slowly moved away from the platform. Despite Twitter, we actually saw some strong individual performances on the other platforms, which makes me excited to see them.
- The overall performance was strong from a campaign perspective. We saw 2 different campaigns reach the top 3 overall for WordPress. Campaigns such as WP 6.2.2 announcement post on the release and the WordPress News campaign had the strongest performances for the week.
- Here is a look at the numbers for the week:
- Impressions: 524,478
- Engagements: 7,580

Open Floor
- From @sereedmedia: If you are a marketing team contributor, please participate in #WP20 From Blogs to Blocks! It’s actually quite fun, and it’s bringing the community together.
- From @oglekler:
- can create some WordPress map :world_map: to collect, categorize and make easier to navigate all WordPress projects. For example, right now I am attending a meetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area. about WordPress Playground. And we have separate projects, and sites, and locales etc. So, no sitemap will make an overview about the whole WordPress project, and sometimes it isn’t easy to find something or even know that it exists. So I am wondering if we can have some nice looking navigation tool, it will be cool to have it in part game view with ability to switch off gamification. Things to cover: underscore theme and other official themes, official plugins, wp-cli WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way. The project page is http://wp-cli.org/ https://make.wordpress.org/cli/, mobile applications, Rosetta sites, official social media, Gutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ time, Developer blog etc.
