  3. Hi Stacey,

    You are not the only one the holiday bug has bitten :) Personally, I hardly checked out my regular sites. Who doesn’t appreciate the holiday season?

    I’m interested in the link about the details of WP 4.7 from WPBeginner; though I updated, I did not bother with the details pe se. I think now is the time to take a serious and comprehensive look.

    Be sure to make the day great & merry Christmas in advance!

    Always,
    Akaahan Terungwa
