In case you missed it, a quick recap of the past week on WordPress.com.
March 24, 2014
In our fast-moving lives, it’s easy to sometimes miss out on great things. Before starting a new week on WordPress.com, be sure to check out the features that made a splash on Hot Off the Press last week:
- Have you tried our new emoticons yet? Even more important, have you discovered the secret ones already? We’re sure you’ll ❤ them!
- It’s never too late to start spring-cleaning your blog.
- New themes Hemingway Rewritten and Sweet Life made quite a splash, while recent arrival Singl is already being put to great use.
- From Austin, Texas, to Gothenburg, Sweden, WordPressers made their presence known around the world (they also gave out lots of swag).
- We geeked out on some great science blogs, and painted the blogosphere green on St. Patrick’s Day.
The WordPress.com House was the place to be in this year’s SXSW festival.
Coming up this week
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements and features this week, including…
- A look at some of our best tumblelog themes,
- A community focus on breast cancer-related blogs,
- And more…

I’m really enjoying the new emoticons. They’re warmer, inviting and have plenty of character. I’m also enjoying how they’re expressing how I’m feeling. Great job, is all I can say!

Hi Ben,
Please tell me how I can use the new Emoticons? I cannot even find them?
Why don’t “techhies” realise that not everyone who uses their great innovations are as clever as them?
Please give me the links and how I can use them.
Regards,
george

Hi Zoe,
You can control your email delivery options on a per-blog basis. You can find the instructions here. Essentially, you decide whether to receive emails from a specific blog every time a new post is published, daily, weekly, or never. I hope this helps!

Hey Ben, just a heads up that the link to the New Emoticons post is broken — should probably be https://wordpress.com/blog/2014/03/21/new-emoticons 🙂
