That's one of the options in my plugin - WordPress › Point and Stare CMS Functions « WordPress Plugins but also useful on it's own as you've done it.

Nice, will check it out.

I see wp101.com are offering unlimited accounts for $19 one time fee (normally $79):
Sign Up for WordPress 101 Tutorial Videos

Anyone have an account that you use for teaching clients the basics? Is it worth it?

Interesting idea

From Simplebits by the looks of it.

edit // SB used to be one of my daily reads. Nice one for inadvertedly re-introducing it.

Pea.rs looks like it has potential too. Are you going to install it?

Anyone having issues using custom url's and the WP gallery - useful fix here.

Add a custom url to your wordpress gallery-images/

What used to be a daily read?

Just getting started on using wordpress; I've got xamp and everything needed to run it locally, but I'm looking through a few tutorials to help get me started.

Any of you swear by a particular one?

I was having a look at this: How To Create a WordPress Theme: The Ultimate WordPress Theme Tutorial | ThemeShaper but it's also from 2009. I'm also, of course, looking at the documentation on Wordpress.org.

I've got a fair bit of coding experience under my belt, but I'm not a fucking wizard by any stretch.

LittleMick · 21-02-2012, 15:22

I'm using 'How To Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer' at the moment. Horrible title but very good guide.

You are in the exactly the same position I was a couple of months ago, the rockstar book is good, but I found this to be better, their site has good content too.

A few other good links:

Powering Your Design With WordPress | ThemeShaper

How to Build a Basic Portfolio WordPress Theme

A Beginner's Guide to the WordPress Loop | Wptuts+

LittleMick · 21-02-2012, 15:30

You've got some nice resources there Tom. Cheers.

Tom · 21-02-2012, 15:50

This is a pretty good book too:

Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, 2nd Edition

Giraffe · 21-02-2012, 16:27

Excellent, excellent. Thanks a ton for all of that. Bookmarked them all.

Never noticed this plugin before but that could be very useful!

jamblo · 25-07-2012, 22:50

This is handy:
WordPress › Simple Image Sizes « WordPress Plugins

Never used anything but the default image sizes before.

Even gives you the function code should you want to delete the plugin and keep the settings. Nice.
