Beaver Builder's January 2017 Update [View this email in your browser] January Update Hoover, Beaver Themer, and More! Hey, everyone! Happy 2017. It's hard to believe another year has come and gone. There is some fun stuff to chat about this month. We have some news about our new product release and the next major Beaver Builder update. Our Stack Exchange forum proposal is up and running. Also, I want to start a new blog tradition and highlight someone from our community and someone from our team. As always, our newsletters are [a shorter version of our update blog post]. We respect your time and your inbox. :) Beaver Builder 1.9.4 and Accessibility We pushed out a minor update last week. Beaver Builder 1.9.4 has several accessibility enhancements that were contributed by our friend, John Russell. You can check out all the changes and bug fixes on [our][change logs][page]. If you'd like to read more on Beaver Builder and accessibility, check out [this Knowledge Base article] . Beaver Builder 2.0 “Hoover” We're hard at work on Beaver Builder 2.0 which we’re naming “Hoover.” We wanted to share a few screenshots and highlight a few of the major feature and changes. If I had to sum up this release in one word, it would be efficiency. Our goal with Hoover is to make Beaver Builder faster and make the process of building websites more streamlined. [Head over to the full blog post] to see the screenshots and read a bit more about what's coming Stack Exchange Forum Proposal We started up a new forum! Well, technically it's a forum proposal at this point. I talked a bit about this last month, but we're hoping to create a Stack Exchange forum for technical questions and discussion. To make it happen, we really need your help! To get to the next part of the proposal process, we need 15 more questions with at least 10 votes. If you can, pretty please [head to the forum] and upvote any questions that have less than 10 votes. Feel free to post questions too, but don't answer any questions! Check out the announcement for the reason why. Thanks so much for your help with this. A New 2017 Tradition I'm going to try something new on the blog this year. I am hoping to write a bit about one of our team members and one of our community members each month. For this month, [I wrote up a bit] about my business partner, Billy Young, and our good friend Troy Dean. --------------------------------------------------------------- Footnotes Pressnomics and Austin Visits We're planning a trip out to Austin, Texas next month and we'll be in Arizona for [Pressnomics] again this year. If you're close by, let us know and we can grab some lunch. Hiring We’re still on the [hunt for a WordPress developer]. We've had several great candidates come through, so let us know quickly if you're interested!​ Guest Posts Want to write a guest post for our blog? [Send us a message]. We published a guest post on [using video backgrounds with Beaver Builder] a few weeks ago and we have a few more on tap. SureFire Podcast Here's a fun little trip down memory lane, the first podcast I ever recorded was with our friend Jon Perez of Sure Fire Web Services and [he finally got around to publishing it]. In Closing Thanks for reading and for all the support. We usually end our newsletters with a question since it’s a good way to get a conversation started, but not this month. Instead, [head over to our new forum and upvote a few questions] please! We really want to see this thing thrive and we need your help! Thanks, y’all!
