Monday Morning Edition

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:

• We released our first-ever transparency report, and kept you up to date on the Heartbleed security vulnerability.
• If you were looking for quick tips on better blogging, or more information on quoting in style with post formats, you were in luck.
• Have you taken a look at Fictive, our newest theme? For more theme inspisration, check out these gorgeous sites using Spun, another recent addition.

Pro tip of the week: Inviting a guest blogger to write a post takes only seconds, and can be a great way to increase your blog’s visibility. From your dashboard, just go to Users → Invite New and generate your invitation. If you’re not sure which user role to assign your guest, check out this support page
