A mention to the recently released WordPress Playground tutorial would be useful for developers as this is a very relevant topic at the moment.

Some 2,000 or so words later and we're ready for a review: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nTph2zMS1VHz5h4pNFPtsOpU1yHDB2EozGwoC56fn1g/edit?usp=sharing

This is a big edition, so any cuts we can make to unnecessary words would be helpful.

Okey dokey! Heading in now

[marybaum]

Done!

Thanks, @marybaum, as always. Not sure if we made it any shorter, but it's a lot smoother reading now.

Edit: I'll follow up more on Monday morning, and we can handle any lingering issues before publishing.

[marybaum]

You are most welcome!
