This weekend we have another edition of WordPress Community Links. In these posts we run down all of the link-worthy materials we’ve found within the WordPress community this week. If you have a link to share that we missed, head down to the comments and let us know.
As usual, we’ve split up the links into interesting blog posts, tutorials, and bookmark-able resource posts. The links start just after the jump.
First up we have blog posts worth at least a once-over:
- Alex King shared his thoughts on WordCamp Seattle, in particular the interview he participated in.
- Andrea Rennick posted on her development from working without breaks, to working hard and playing hard.
- Justin Tadlock published an informal recruitment call for the WordPress Theme Review Team on his blog.
- John Godley shared his experience at the Automattic 5k, including photos.
- Ozh Richards tells the story of how he learned to program on a newly launched website.
- Joshua Strebel celebrated a special Page.ly birthday, in part, with a blog post.
- Adam Warner interviewed Ron and Andrea Rennick on his WP Pro Business blog. He is also running a giveaway on his blog.
Next up we have a few tutorials to make you a smarter WordPress user:
- Thad Allenger explains how to convert WordPress custom post types on the Graph Paper Press blog.
- Joost de Valk explained how to include certain code in a plugin on the front end of a site, and certain code on the back end. He also shared a tip, showing how to enable RSS feeds for WordPress custom post types.
- Justin Tadlock explained how to unclutter the post editing screen in WordPress. He also talked about how he went about creating a product page using WordPress and Hybrid Core. The product page itself was for his latest book, and is worth a look on its own.
- Michael Fields shared his conclusions on WordPress template parts.
- Jeff Starr posted a tip of his own for eliminating certain kinds of spam comments.
Finally, we have resource posts that you might want to bookmark for the future:
- The folks at WPBeginner put together a WordCamp infographic showing why anyone should attend one.
- Brian Layman of WebDevStudios discussed their recommendations for an Amazon Web Services cluster on their blog.
- Steven Gliebe guest posted on Smashing Magazine with a fairly detailed comparison of a few WordPress theme shops. Currently only 11 theme shops are covered, though it looks like it will be updated before long to add more.
- WordPress theme reviewer Chip Bennett provided a list of his tips for beginning theme reviewers.
And that does it for links this week. If you’ve found others, be sure to drop them in the comments below. Or, if you have a link you think should be in next week’s roundup, feel free to contact us.
Glad you liked the infographic to put that as the post image 🙂
Should I expect to see you at WordCamp Raleigh then?
Thanks for the links. 🙂
