WHY You Want Your Links To Open In A New Window

How to Embed a Video

A better title would be "How to Embed a YouTube Video in Gutenberg Properly" I'll bet if you been using Gutenberg (WordPress 5.0+) for any length of time you've embedded a video. It seems easy enough as there's a handy dandy block for YouTube video right on your dashboard. BUT... If …

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
