How could you leave out Digging Into WordPress by Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr? http://digwp.com/
Hi Catherine, and Marcell purham, thanks for the comments. I actually had digwp on my list for this article, but as I said I had to cut out some for my list of 20. Digwp is an active blog, and I guess I will edit it into the article again!
Great list you have here. Most of them are in my Fave lists, will add the rest too.
I like Wpdesigner. I’m quite sad that it’s no longer updated since it changed ownership two years ago. I wonder where Small Potato is now.
“there are too many high quality sources to list them all” that’s right, you just had to cut out some for your list of 20. In my list I wont miss out WPShout, I like it because just like wpengineer, digwp and wprecipes it’s purely WP related and as you said, “This is a whole blog dedicated to WordPress, not just a section “

I recently helped a friend with her blog, poking around under a WordPress hood for the first time in years. I was impressed. It’s a whole different beast from what I experimented with years ago, and I now understand why it’s the world leader among blog/cms software when ranked by number of users. Impressive! And I’m going to keep exploring in the weeks and months ahead. This posting is a great springboard for new-to-WordPress bloggers.
