Hi there, everybody, and welcome to web and beyond live for November 2 2020. I’m Ray Sidney-Smith. And I am president of W three consulting as well as managing director of WCC web services, which provides affordable WordPress and web hosting along with domain registration services and other web related services for small business.

This week. We’re going to talk about WordPress, we’re going to talk about Facebook, we’re going to talk about some podcast News. I’m going to talk about a more analytics news when we get to the end, and lots of little goodies in between. So let’s first start off with some, just a couple of things out of WordPress.
