John's Intro:

The new magik number is 66, July 1 is the new majik day. Trust the plan.

With great appreciation for the No Agenda Show for their inspiration of ideas and the occasional stolen sound clip.

This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Before I get started, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…

Ambers' Rant:

This is #29 of 52 episodes for 2021. Its Episode 521! 521 = 8, so I suppose this is the eternal, never ending episode! Kinda like that old Lamb Chop's song – you know, I don't think my kids ever even watched that show, and yet they learned the never ending song… I suppose anything that annoying never really leaves, even when the origin of it is lost.

If you find yourself needing to get away from your own kids singing ‘the song that goes on and on', you can always go outside for a walk! Nice short (or long) jaunt, or simply grab some lunch and go sit out in the sunshine! It's great for your entire self to just sit and soak up vitamin D for a little while – a little goes a long way with Vitamin D.

And remember, while escaping the Lamb Chop's song, or whatever else is stuck in your kids head today, don't let that social media/news wreck your time out! Turn that stuff off for at least an hour a day. It will help with your brain meats in chillaxing, and give you the ability to enter into the fray of random songs via kids again with total cool!

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.

 

We have some news from the world of WordPress for you today as well as some great plugins.

News this week:

WordPress 5.8 was released on July 20th! The only thing I really found on it was from WP Tavern, and they are talking about the Introduction of Block Widgets, Duotone Media Filters, New Emoji Support, and More. This article tells you the names of the ‘release squad members', shows you a little on the developers theme.json support, and talks a lot about the seemingly favourite aspects of this newest release.

Tips Tuesday with MayAnna – covering E-comm masterminds in the BB Hub, theme speed and SEO testing, why updating to the WP 5.8 the day it's released is not a great idea and more!
