This is my dumping grounds for all things WordPress. I’ll post themes, plugins, tutorials, and hacks under this topic. Have a look around. There’s plenty for everybody.

I told you I’d have a new theme club sometime or another, didn’t I?

Well, here it is — ThemeHybrid.com

I just stopped by WordPress Extend to find a few “ideas” to rate down, which is part of my nightly routine.

Tonight, I was a bit surprised to see that there was a new WordPress Themes Directory.

WordPress 2.6 (Tyner) is out, which means it’s time for a round of WordPress theme and plugin updates.

Sometimes it sucks to be me. But in a really good way.

Every day, I look at quite a few sites using the Options theme, and almost every day I’m surprised by what people are doing with it.
