The first release candidate for WordPress 6.3 arrived a few days ago and is expected to be finalized on August 8th, 2023. This will be the second major release of 2023 and will come with significant new features and improvements mostly focusing on the new Site Editor process.
CU*Answer Web Services has been testing the Site Editor method of building new website with a couple of current in development sites with some mixed results. As this new tool continues to mature, we anticipate it becoming a bigger part of future projects. Other enhancements in the new WordPress version include changes and updates to Gutenberg, blocks and block patterns. See this article on WPBeginner.com for a full list of major updates.
CU*Answers Web Services will automatically be updating all client sites to the new version once the release is finalized. This will happen during our normal weekly update processes.

We all know that having secure passwords are important. CU*Answers Web Services has been reminding you for years. And it’s certainly a recurring theme over at our Online Safety and Identity Theft Awareness website CU*Secure.
Good, secure passwords are longer, they have a mix of characters, numbers and symbols. They don’t use personal information or dictionary words. Those are pretty standard guidelines we all use.
So, today, here’s something a little fun instead. Let’s take the rules to the extreme. The Password Game has been going around all the technology news sites this week. It’s for fun and a little absurd. I made it to rule 13 before giving up.
Have fun, check it out at https://neal.fun/password-game/
