If things have felt a little busier around WordPress.com these past two weeks, there’s a good reason: we shipped a lot, including a new home for your podcast, a weekly letter for close friends, and a new Mac app that uses your site context, so you can get more done without leaving your flow.
Here’s what’s new on WordPress.com to help you create, publish, and grow:
Launch a podcast that lives alongside your blog and newsletter — no separate hosting platform or tool needed. Find it in your site sidebar at Jetpack → Podcast.
Learn more about running your podcast on WordPress.com in our blog post.
For the corner of your life where you’d rather email a few close friends than post to the world.
Lately is a weekly letter for the people closest to you, compiled automatically from notes you send during the week, and delivered every Friday to the friends you choose.
It runs through Telegram: message the WordPress Agent as things happen, and it handles sending your curated newsletter each week. Available now as a beta for new sites.
If you blog, publish, or run a business on WordPress, your site has been accumulating useful context since day one: your voice, audience, archive, offers, media, guidelines, and the shape of your work.
Workspace is a new Mac app that puts all of that to work. At its center, the WordPress Agent helps you write, research, and ship without you having to start from scratch every time you want to get something done.
Use it to draft a post from your notes, update a page, generate an image, or get a quick answer about your site — all from a keyboard shortcut and without leaving what you’re working on.
Available now as a beta on every WordPress.com plan — learn more and try it today.
If you’re heading to WordCamp Europe in Kraków in just a few weeks, open Telegram and message @wordcamp_agent_bot.
It’s a free travel and conference assistant for attendees. It can help plan your trip, browse the schedule, remember which sessions you care about, and ping you before they start.
It’s your WordCamp assistant in your pocket — chat with it today.
Calling all developers, designers, and vibe coders: starting a new WordPress project locally just got a lot faster.
The new Blueprints Gallery in WordPress Studio (desktop version 1.9.0 and later) gives you a curated library of pre-configured WordPress setups — for blogging, ecommerce, plugin testing, design exploration, and more — that you can launch as a local site in a couple of clicks.
Use the Live Preview button to try a Blueprint before you commit to it, and then sync with a WordPress.com hosting plan when you’re ready to go live.
If you’ve been hand-configuring the same kind of WordPress site over and over, this is your shortcut.
Rewards for showing up, making progress, and getting things done.
WordPress.com users now have an Achievements page. Track your daily activity streak, earn badges for milestones, and check out other people’s achievements when they make their profiles public.
Try it on a logged-in WordPress.com page. Try it in WordPress Studio. Two different surprises, both worth finding.
