For Lorem Ipsum Fans<\/h3>\n<p>With the beautiful <a href=\"http:\/\/meettheipsums.com\/\">&#8220;Meet the Ipsums&#8221;<\/a> resource of fun lorum ipsum tools, hopefully we don&#8217;t need to see any more boring lorem ipsum texts from now on.

Mailchimp Redesign<\/h3>\n<p>This week I used the new <a href=\"http:\/\/mailchimp.com\/\">Mailchimp<\/a> (a popular newsletter service) design for the first time and I absolutely love it. They did a great job with their minimal, clear and fun redesign. Absolutely lovely!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39860\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39860\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mailchimp.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/mailchimp-redesign.jpg\" alt=\"The new, modern Mailchimp design is absolutely beautiful!\" width=\"760\" height=\"436\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39860 img-border\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/mailchimp-redesign.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/mailchimp-redesign-600x344.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/mailchimp-redesign-350x200.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/mailchimp-redesign-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/mailchimp-redesign-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/mailchimp-redesign-380x218.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39860\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new, modern Mailchimp design is absolutely beautiful!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>4. More WordPress Security<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/limit-login-attempts\/\" title=\"Limited Login Attempts\">Limited Login Attempts plugin<\/a> is a helpful first step to make your WordPress installation more secure and close the login, if someone tries to login to your admin panel with a wrong password or username after a certain number of attempts. Definitely a Must Have!<\/p>\n<h3>5. Maintenance Mode WordPress Plugin<\/h3>\n<p>Until recently I always used the WP Maintenance Mode plugin, when updating our websites. But unfortunately I couldn&#8217;t find the plugin anymore in the <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\">WordPress plugin directory<\/a>, so I tried the <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/ultimate-maintenance-mode\/\">Ultimate Maintenance Plugin<\/a> instead and I&#8217;m quite happy with it. It&#8217;s really easy to set up and the design is simple and has a default dark overlay that I find really helpful. So your visitors can still see that they are still on the right website.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39859\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39859\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/ultimate-maintenance-mode\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/maintenance-mode-plugin.jpg\" alt=\" The Ultimate WordPress Maintenance Mode Plugin.\" width=\"760\" height=\"436\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39859 img-border\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/maintenance-mode-plugin.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/maintenance-mode-plugin-600x344.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/maintenance-mode-plugin-350x200.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/maintenance-mode-plugin-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/maintenance-mode-plugin-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elmastudio.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/maintenance-mode-plugin-380x218.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39859\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ultimate WordPress Maintenance Mode Plugin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>6.Live Stream Tickets for the San Francisco WordCamp<\/h3>\n<p>Since a lot of people (like us) can not attend the big, upcoming <strong>WordCamp San Francisco<\/strong> on July 26-27th in person, the <a href=\"http:\/\/2013.sf.wordcamp.org\/\">tickets for the live stream<\/a> (costs are 10 dollars or 20 dollars including the T-Shirt) are a great option to still take part in the event. You can still buy live stream tickets at the WCSF website now, but the number of tickets is limited.<\/p>\n<h3>7. WordPress Survey<\/h3>\n<p>For everyone who has not taken this years annual WordPress survey yet, just head over to the <a href=\"http:\/\/wp-survey.polldaddy.com\/s\/wp-2013\">Survey site<\/a> and fill out the form. It will only take a couple of minutes and all our answers can help to make WordPress even better in the future.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Summer Reading List<\/h3>\n<p>Yesterday the famous blogger and marketing guru <a href=\"http:\/\/sethgodin.typepad.com\/\">Seth Godin<\/a> published a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.squidoo.com\/favorite-novels-for-summer-2013\">2013 summer reading list<\/a>. Since we are huge fans of Seth Godins work, I will get at least one of the books on the list to read in my lunch breaks or while on vacation this summer.<\/p>\n<h4>What Are Your Highlights Of The Web Right Now?<\/h4>\n<p>Which websites, tools and blog posts can you recommend and which  WordPress related tips do you think are hot right now?
