Weekly WordPress News: Creative Commons Search Joins WordPress

Hey, WordPress fans. We are checking in with your latest dose of weekly WordPress news.

In big news this week, Matt Mullenweg announced that Creative Commons Search will be joining WordPress. The vision is to make quality royalty-free content accessible to WordPress users through their dashboard. With over 500 million royalty-free images, audio, and videos available, the platform provides a massive benefit to the WordPress community. 

Beyond that, PeachPay (check our review) inked a partnership with WooCommerce. We also have a lot of useful guides and resources for you.
