Hello Owlstowners!
One of my goals was to send at least 1 newsletter every month, but since I’m sending this newsletter in the evening of March 31 in the eastern United States, some of you will be receiving this on April 1 in your time zone. Alas, I wish I had a more clever April Fools’ Day newsletter to send.
Cheers,
Ian 🦉
What’s new
Embed all sorts of content into your website using the Embed block. Some examples are Google Maps, CodePen, GitHub Gists, Tableau dashboards, Figma graphic files, etc.
Owlstown websites load even faster. I removed Javascript and icon fonts that slow down websites. Banner images load faster with responsive loading and efficient formats.
When you add a link to your personal
NameBadge in Social Links, it will have a speaker icon next to it. Email me if you want to see other icons in Social Links.
I moved the servers where images and PDFs are stored from cloudinary.com to spaces-cdn.owlstown.com.
