The final chapter of Using WordPress is all about the WordPress community. We all know that the WordPress community is fantastic. The forums, email lists, IRC, WordCamps, everything shows the strength of the WordPress ecosystem.
I can’t think of a better way to really show off the community than to ask the community for suggestions of great WordPress sites.
Yep, the last chapter of my book is going wrap up with a community-assisted section.
Please leave your suggestions for your favourite WordPress sites (not running WordPress, but talking about WordPress) in the comments below. Themes, plugins, hacks, tips, tricks. You name it.
Also, with your suggestion, let me know how you’d like me to credit you in the book next to the site suggestion. If the same site is suggested by more than one person, the first person to suggest it get the credit (but I’ll note home many more people suggested it as well).
I already have wp.org and wp.com and the main WordCamp sites…but the rest are open.
Yes, I have my favorites, but I also want to know yours too.
Isn’t that what community is all about?
Great idea Tris. I think I saw you on a video of WordCamp that was on Godaddy.com. I host there and they have some decent videos of Matt Mullenweg. I also like this site for Thesis Themes for WordPress…http://thesisthemetools.com/.Another source is googling the keywords WordPress guru and lots of good sites come up.

That’s a excellent one Barry.
Oh and don’t worry I have I bevy of sites I like, I just wanted to give the larger community a chance to contribute to the chapter that happened to be on community.
I would like to nominate my wife’s blog. She works full time to bring fresh wedding related material to the forefront in a stylish way.
Cool Jonathan, I’d certainly like to share that with my fiancée, but I’m thinking of sites like Smashing Magazine, WPBeginner, etc.
Where do you find your best WP tricks?
Hey Tris,
I’m guessing you’ll probably already have these listed, but here are the ones I keep an eye on:
* Yoast – http://yoast.com/
* Cats Who Code – http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/
* Justin Tadlock’s blog – http://justintadlock.com/
* Nettuts – http://net.tutsplus.com/
Most of those cover stuff other than WP as well, but they have quality WP-related material.
Thank you Eric! Oh yes I love those, but now you get to be in the book for suggesting them!
