Keeping your visitors interested is the key to a successful website—and one great way to do that is with email. A smart email outreach plan piques peoples' interest, keeps them engaged, and brings them back to your website.
To send emails, you need a mailing list, and Mailchimp is the list-building tool of choice for lots of folks. With WordPress.com's new Mailchimp block, you can add a signup form to any post or page. Give visitors the opportunity to join your list wherever they are on your website.

Your website's dashboard should be as welcoming to you as your website's home page is to your visitors. One way to do that? Customize your WordPress.com dashboard with color schemes.
Today, you've got three new options for adding a little behind-the-scenes zing: introducing Powder Snow, Nightfall, and Sakura, designed especially for you by our Art Director, Eriko Kawakami.
Whether you prefer the gentle monotone of Powder Snow, the darker and soothing colors of Nightfall, or the vibrant, cherry-blossom-inspired Sakura, we hope you'll find a look you love.
As part of our commitment to inclusive design, the new palettes are optimized for contrast and increased legibility. Whichever color scheme you choose, your dashboard will be stylish and readable.
Here's how to customize your color scheme:
On your desktop, sign in to the WordPress.com account that you'd like to customize.
Click your account avatar in the upper right corner.
Select Account Settings
Select one of the options under Dashboard Color Scheme
Click Save Account Settings to apply the change
My dashboard, using the Nightfall color scheme.
More color schemes are coming, and we want your feedback! What colors do you want to see in your WordPress.com dashboard?

Distributed teams, different geographies, and complex dynamics are redefining the modern workday. Soon, "job perks" like flexible hours and work-from-anywhere will become table-stakes benefits that every company needs to offer to stay competitive.
WordPress.com's parent company Automattic has long been ahead of this curve, growing a global software company of more than 850 people across 68 countries with no central office. Along the way, we've found that many business products are still locked into old assumptions about how a company runs, so we had to build our own internal tools to work the way we want. Now, we're making these tools available to like-minded companies who need a better way to work.

Electric Literature launched 10 years ago in Brooklyn, New York, as a quarterly print journal with a mission to make literature more relevant, exciting, and inclusive. And today they're celebrating the launch of a new website on WordPress, at electricliterature.com.
Surviving (and thriving) for ten years as an independent publisher is no small feat. Over the years the nonprofit organization has grown its online audience -- with offerings like Recommended Reading and The Commuter -- while expanding its membership of readers who help fund its work. The website is free to everyone and relies on the generosity of its community to donate to the site and support its mission.
How does an indie website make its business work in 2019? We talked with Electric Lit's Executive Director Halimah Marcus about some of the lessons they've learned in the past 10 years.
