There have been a handful of new BlockPreview releases recently, and I’ve just forgotten to post about them! Lots of new features like support for Blueprints (and Global Elements when they’re released in v18 👀), ignored content types…
Last minute announcement - thanks @deanleigh.bsky.social for the suggestion. Tomorrow is the launch of Umbraco 17 so why not have an #umbracoTees day!
Tomorrow, wear your Umbraco swag - post a photo on socials with the hashtag #umbracoTees - tag me so I can find it

Unfortunately I didn't get in to the London Marathon, and the Manchester Marathon is a little while away yet, so I thought I'd do a fun little challenge to raise money for @alderhey.nhs.uk @alderheycharity.org in November!

Most exciting thing from @umbmanchester.bsky.social tonight! #umbraco
Today's main job was to get 2FA recovery codes working with Umbraco Members... and it's been successful!

Your friends (or future friends) are in it.
Never been? Consider this your official invitation for 2026!
