I look forward to updating my digital garden soon! Was going to do it this week (I'm very excited about this update) but my kid missed 3 days of daycare this week thanks to the holiday and a fever, so I didn't have a chance. If anyone made theming changes recently and wants to share their Obsidian Publish digital garden, please reach out :) ## Plugin News ### Pending (as of Friday morning) _Note: Not all new plugins are available in the community list yet, as they need to go through code review first.
