Gratitude
Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the US, but it’s always a good time to not only remember those people and things we are grateful for, but to take it one step further to support causes close to home – whether by volunteering or, if you are in a position to do so, by assisting financially.

It’s taken some time for it to appear, but WordPress.com site owners now have a new Support Guide to assist them in crafting their own site’s Privacy policy, if needed.
