WordPress 5.8 has arrived!

So, what can we expect and what should you know if you’re running a WordPress installation and considering upgrading to 5.8?

For the answer to that question and more, we turn to Kristen Wright over at iThemes, where she has compiled an excellent summation of what WordPress 5.8 brings – which is a plethora of improvements and features to the WordPress block editor, along with a few new features specifically for developers.

Over our 13-year history at Birmingham Parent/Evans Publishing, we have worked with several webmasters, but Tom Gonzales and Digital Doo-wop is by far the most knowledgeable, creative, and dependable one with whom we have dealt. We've worked with him while he was with Dominion Enterprises, then on his own with Digital Doo-wop for the past several years now. Tom is fast, eager to make us happy, and very knowledgeable about how to get more traffic to our site, all within our budget. The end result is a very user-friendly, professional, and esthetically pleasing website that can compete with the 'big guys.' Tom has taught us a lot about how to make money from our site. Digital Doo-wop is an excellent partner for any small+ publisher. I can HIGHLY recommend him.

Digital Doo-wop has been a tremendous asset to Westchester Family Magazine. Their technical expertise has saved us more times than I can care to count. They are always available for emergencies and are excellent at maintaining a reliable schedule. I can always rely on them to get the work done accurately and on time. Their insightful analytic reports have helped us realize where we are and where we'd like to go. I am sure you and your team would benefit from working with Digital Doo-wop; I know we have.

South Flordia Family Life Magazine has been working with Tom and Digital Doo-wop for many years now, and they are always there to help us understand our options and to guide us when planning and implementing our digital strategy. I can say without a doubt that because of our relationship with Digital Doo-wop, we have been able to establish and grow digital revenues as a core component of the overall marketing options we offer our clients.

Gary Hibert - Owner

Having worked with Tom at two companies, For Rent Magazine and Dominion Parenting Media, it was an easy decision to use Digital Doo-wop when I decided to purchase my publications and was looking for someone to host and do development work on our sites. Digital Doo-wop provided my staff with the support to help us meet our demanding publication deadlines while also helping us to keep our digital labor costs in check. I strongly recommend them for any web project you might have.
