The other day, George Plumley contacted me to let me know of a new site he launched called SeeHowTwo.com. The site contains a variety of videos specific to WordPress.org with plans on adding videos to cover WordPress.com topics as well. Initially, I had to increase the font size on my machine since it was a…
Browsing across the web last night, I came across a very cool iteration of WordPress MU. The site was http://klews.net/maps/ and functioned as if the entire install was one giant map. As I’ve since learned, that is essentially what it is. So exactly who is WP Premium? We are a growing group of independent designers…
Early in 2008, Ian Stewart of ThemeShaper.com sent a question around to 11 people he believed were committed to thinking creatively about WordPress themes.

Ryan Imel of Themeplayground.com has published a compilation of Who’s who in the WordPress community with 50 people you should be following. Guess what, I and this site made the list.

Just wondering if it’s time to wipe the slate clean on the WordPress Ideas site to start over? The reason being is that the top five most popular ideas are ideas which were submitted over two years ago. If you ask me, this looks bad as it tends to lean towards the WordPress project not…

The folks over at instantshift.com have published an extensive WordPress theme showcase. I actually enjoy sites who create these types of showcases because it’s much easier to browse through one page of themes rather than scouring the web looking for good designs. This particular showcase has over 140+ Themes in it. In fact, after checking…
