WORDPRESS READER CHANGES

You may have noticed a major update to the WordPress Reader recently.

There have been a few minor improvements since, which is a good sign. It shows that WordPress staff is listening.

  3. Good morning, Michelle! I don’t really care for the changes and your post was really informative.

    Thanks for reblogging an informative post. Many hugs!
