State of the Word 2021

WordPress has State of the Word 2021 event a couple of days ago on December 14 (my birthday too!) and you can watch the recording here:

For WordPress veterans, you all might have been hearing the buzz about Full Site Editing. For those of you who just noticed the news about Full Site Editing right now, I promise I will blog about it later (?) I actually have been wanting to write about it with hope that I can help a bit on sharing more information about templates and how you can max up templates using FSE. I personally hyped about FSE and I have been spending quite some time tinkering and doing some testing on my test sites.

Anyway! I actually thought Matt will have a live streaming from the Antarctica. We heard about him taking a trip to the Antarctica and I feel it would look super cool to see him delivering SOTW speech with penguins around, you know. And I really like penguins.

“Hello, hello! Welcome–”

(PENGUIN INTERRUPTING NOISES)

“I’m Matt–”

(MORE PENGWEN NOISES. “HUMAN HAS CAMERA. WADDLE TO WAVE AND SAY HI. HELLO HUMAN.“)

Anyway.

I got quite surprised I see him appearing in SOTW podium in New York.

“NO PENGUINS?”

Yeah. So.

Lowkey expecting to see some emperor penguins shuffling closer to him and as he delivers his speech we see the penguins starting to center on the camera.

You know what they say about penguins:

WE PENGUINS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD WIDE WEB.

(Definitely historically incorrect but we never know because The Antarctica is filled with scientists and I won’t be surprised to see some penguins waddling away with some papers on their beak.)
