Great contribution. Thanks a lot for sharing that. I was certainly not knowledgeable of your weblog, however will return again a lot more frequently now. Including you to my personal RSS reader.
These are great WordPress resources – I actually just started digging into a really really solid book on WordPress 3.0. It’s got some really nice code samples, and is written by a few pro WordPress developers (including some from Envato). I’m actually giving away 2 copies of the e-book on my site – check out the details about the e-book and the giveaway here – I think you’ll dig it : http://bit.ly/lq20Ff
i’m using wordpress and will try this ones for me. thanks!
I have discovered some WordPress resources I haven’t seen before from your list (and that are very useful). Thanks!
Thanks for linking to my website, and great article!
Great Post… A good list enough to get all resources on WordPress. Even http://wpveda.com/ has a good collection of WordPress resources
Wordlog is dead since 2007. I don’t think it a ressource for WordPress’s lastest news
thanks, will be removed
About DesignModo
http://designmodo.com/about/
nice idea… we will do that !
thank you :)
You have missed mine in this list :( One of the blog that help beginner’s to get started with WordPress
vivek,pls send us a email with a small review of your site to blog.iconshock (at) gmail (dot) com … we will consider your inclusion, really !
Excellent post. Thanks alot for this great list.
May I suggest LatestWP [ http://www.latestwp.com ] to be added as it contains hand-picked tutorials, themes, and plugins for WordPress?
Thank you for considering.
ayman, thanks, we will check it.
Thank you very much for including LatestWP to the list. Much obliged! :)
Haha!
It’s funny, because you seem to think it matters that themeshock is in the url along with WordPress.
I’ll alert the patent and trademark office and let them know that if a trademark isn’t used alone it can’t be trademark violation.
?… jhon, There’s a confusion here, we created the site more than a year ago without knowing about this, we paid for advertising, banners, promotion and the design itself without knowing about this, a while ago we discovered this issue and start using themeshock also as brand. We are in the process of migrating all the brand materials. (offline and online) However, it’s more funny to receive this kind of messages, after a year of freebies (free work for all the community), instead of a simple: Hey, thanks !
Again, while it’s unfortunate that you paid a lot of money to violate WordPress’ trademark, that doesn’t make it any less of a trademark violation.
I’d never heard of your site until yesterday (and only then because WP Tavern linked you). Seeing this post, I can only assume that it’s a gigantic piece of link bait, and have no interest in your site or your ‘freebies’.
Also, the fact that you put yourself on the list is a major faux pas. Especially when there are some very notable omissions, such as all of Otto Woods’ sites.
And finally, I refuse to take you seriously when you’re either unable or unwilling to spell my name correctly when it’s right there in front of you.
Have a nice day!
-John
John, sorry for the misspelling… we have created free things for design and dev users from about 8 years ago, pls check these: http://www.iconshock.com/icon_sets/ Tutorials at: http://www.tutorialshock.com articles at http://www.webdesignshock.com we spent a LOT of time and resources doing these freebies, I invite you to help us improve our contents and articles, do u think we miss something here?, please send us an email, we will consider the inlclusion. We are not a spam site, we are good and honest people trying to do a good set of resources for all of u guys… I hope you can give us a try and check all our resources, maybe there’s something useful… and finally, thanks for your comments, even the critic ones are good feedback for all of us :)
