With its hand-picked selection of WordPress news and epic puns, The WhiP<\/a> has been a welcome arrival in thousands of inboxes for over 6 years. And to celebrate our fav newsletter reaching the big 1K we’re doing an extra-special giveaway.<\/p>\n

*This giveaway has ended. Thanks to everyone who took part in the festivities and entered the competition. Also a huge thank you to everyone who continues to enjoy and support The WhiP – remember to subscribe<\/a> if you haven’t!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

May 14th, 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just your typical Wednesday.<\/p>\n

All of Me by John Legend was the US number one, and we\u2019d finally finished eating all of our Easter eggs.<\/p>\n

At 8am, 70 people across the world received an email. An email that would be the start of something amazing\u2026<\/p>\n

…it was the first ever WhiP.<\/p>\n

\"A
A lot has changed since the first WhiP newsletter graced our inboxes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Good, Clean[ish] Puns<\/h2>\n

Since that first edition, we\u2019ve seen 1,000 editions, a truckload of legendary puns, and the audience currently sits at over 200K subscribers.<\/p>\n

Each and every week, we\u2019ve brought you a roundup of important and interesting news from across the WordPress biz – and we don\u2019t plan on stopping any time soon.<\/p>\n

We also can\u2019t celebrate 1,000 editions without paying homage to our past WhiP contributors. Especially Joshua Dailey<\/strong> and Raelene Morey <\/strong>– the first ever WhiP Team.<\/p>\n

They did an awesome job at bringing this idea to life and that it\u2019s still going more than six years later is a testament to all their hard work.<\/p>\n

The WhiP’s punny take on WP news continues to entertain thousands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GIF it Away, GIF it Away Now<\/h2>\n

Alright now that we’ve recapped The WhiP’s journey and how awesome it is (subscribe here<\/a> if you haven’t yet silly), onto the special giveaway!<\/p>\n

The WhiP is of course famous for its use of puns to bring even the most boring WP news to life. And we\u2019ve had tons of feedback over the years letting us know that you love our puns.<\/p>\n

So much so, current WhiP-master, Rick, used the \u201cDo you know who I am?!\u201d line in Starbucks last week when they only gave him one shot of caramel in his latte.<\/p>\n

So in the spirit of The WhiP’s punny nature, we’re giving you the chance to…<\/p>\n

WIN one of 10 custom-made “punny” WhiP t-shirts + a year’s worth of hosting.<\/h2>\n

That’s right, we decided to honor some of the best puns by turning them into awesome, punny t-shirts and putting them up for grabs in a sweet little giveaway!<\/p>\n

Winners will be able to choose from six puntastic WhiP shirts we designed especially for this promotion. You’ll also be able to choose your preferred design, size, color, etc.<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more…<\/p>\n

Along with the shirts, we’re throwing in ONE YEAR’S worth of bronze hosting credit ($120) for our 10 winners!<\/strong><\/p>\n

*If you don\u2019t host with us and aren\u2019t planning on switching any time soon, you can spend your credits on anything else from our range. This includes any of our membership plans and subscriptions or add-ons for your favorite WPMU DEV plugins.<\/em><\/p>\n

Choosing the top puns to print on the t-shirts was a difficult task. But after trawling through hundreds of previous WhiPs and then a team vote to narrow it down even further, we present to you our six favorites.<\/p>\n

Winners can choose from one of these 6 puntastic t-shirt designs:<\/h2>\n

All hand-picked from previous WhiP editions and designed by us especially for this giveaway!<\/p>\n
