In last weeks DevRel Deep Dive, @lotte and I take a look at Blend's new packages for helping with robots.txt and sitemap.xml files.

My colleague, Janae, shares a thoughtful look at what healthy, sustainable work can (and should) look like for technical and creative teams.

It's a great read, especially as this year comes to a close.

Belissima Backoffice: Property Descriptions I'm sure you're already aware of property descriptions! They’re useful to explain a property when a name doesn't give enough detail. The property descriptions have accepted markdown for a long time now (although allowed features have changed over time!). And because it’s markdown, that means we can use HTML too. And because its HTML it means we can also make use of web components, like UUI!

Did you know #Umbraco property descriptions allow markdown?

I've shared some fun examples on this quick blog post.
