Craft Link List (Archive)

Introduction

Craft webinars, server upload tweaks, tools, plugins and more.

It’s mid-January and we’re still a few months away from the Craft 3 official release date, but this issue brings links to some Craft webinars to get you ready for the launch. Each one is space-limited, so sign up early if you want to get in.

We’ve also got tips from the Craft community to keep your skills sharp including one on making your server capable of uploading larger files in Craft.

This issue is brought to you by Pic Puller, the Instagram plugin for Craft. If you’d like to sponsor an upcoming issue, email [email protected] or find me in Slack.

Let’s hit the links.
