Hey everyone
The site has been online for about a month now and I’m considering expanding it! I’ve been playing with the idea to set up forums, so you could simply post there whenever you’d need help. I’d also add a marketplace since I know some people would find these useful.
I know the WordPress forums exist, but I thought it might be a fun addition to the site. What’s your opinion? Post in the comments and if I get sufficient response, I’ll set up the forums.
I’m also looking for a couple of (guest) writers. I love writing about WordPress but unfortunately, my time is limited, so I can’t give you daily updates. I’d be happy if some people could send in some articles. Obviously, I’d compensate them for their time spent on the articles.
Other than that, I’m working on various other smaller things who will hopefully make this place even more interesting.
Stay tuned and don’t forget to voice your opinion!

This plugin creates an admin bar at the top of your site for logged in users (i.e. you) based on the design of the admin bar located at WordPress.com. It has links to all popular areas of the admin area, saving you time.
It requires no theme editing whatsoever — just upload and activate and you’re done.

Hey
I usually just post this in our Asides category but I think this deserved more exposure. DBS Interactive has written/copied the WordPress codex on template tags into one easy to use page that acts as a one-stop-resource for all your template tags.
Have a look here. It’s definately worthy of bookmarking.
