Introduction
CLL goes to 500
Hello everyone. I've got some exciting news to share regarding the newsletter you're reading right now. There are now 500 subscribers. Woot!
That number may sound like a lot or a little to you depending on your perspective, but I wanted to tell you thanks for being one of those people. The Craft CMS community is a helpful one so if you're just joining the band, be sure you sign up for the Slack channel.
Today brings together another issue of links collected from that Craft Slack channel, Twitter, and simple discovery through talking to fellow Craft devs.
Let's hit the links.
