3 Updates from Will-Myers land

Hey friend,

It’s been a whirlwind of a month over here.

First, we decided to sell our house in Atlanta, and we close on the sale in about… 3 hours! Needless the say, the last month has been crazy as this all happened pretty fast. Thanks for your patience if I’ve been a bit slow to respond to emails.

I’m pretty excited about our next stage and where we’ll be moving, but it hasn’t been finalized yet so I’m holding on sharing that info for now.

Second, next week is Circle Day! Christy and I will be giving a presentation, 7 Ways to Save Time as a Squarespace Designer, as well as a whole host of other fantastic speakers. Be sure to register to watch live or join the world loop to catch the recording in your time zone. If you’re going to be there in person, please come up and say hi!

Christy and I also did a podcast episode with Sam and Sarah, the two people in charge of the Circle Community and putting on Circle Day, about what you can expect this year. Check it out below.

Lastly, we just launched a Slack Community for our Code Curious members. This has been a long time coming, but I’m very happy to get this community off the ground. If you’re a member, check out this page to join the group.

Keep Building,
Will
