10 Top Websites For WordPress Lovers

Written by Michael Dunlop | Posted in Blogging, Branding | 36 comments

WordPress is the software that runs my blog and pretty much every other popular blog on the internet. We all use it, it’s the best. Why would anyone put themselves at a disadvantage and use any other blogging software.

Educating yourself and those who work for you is important. We all know the better our website is, the higher our earnings will be. I have listed 10 websites that I read and get inspiration from to make my blogs better. Let us know in the comments what blogs you read about WordPress and why.

Top 10 WordPress Blog

Yoast

One of my personal favorites, Yoast offers a wide range of advice about WordPress and SEO. If you want advise above what everyone else offers then check out this website. My favourite posts include:

Net Tuts

Part of the Envato network, this website talks about everything code related. They have great detailed posts and tutorials about WordPress and how to use it better. My favorite posts include:

Pro Blog Design

A lot of WordPress users forget the importance of design and user experience, this is why I enjoy reading Pro Blog Design. They offer a wide range of content ranging from design, coding, usability, blog posts and the list goes on. My favorite posts include:

Six Revisions

A long time favorite for me. Sixrevisions lays a lot of their content out in lists which I’m a big fan of as it’s easy to skim and find parts that will actually interest you. Another great part about this site is the majority of content is done by guest writers so you get a wide range of subjects covered and different points of view. My favorite posts include:

Web Designer Wall

Another long time favorite of mine. I have seen this blog go through a few redesigns and have always been a fan of what he produces. A great thing about the owner (Nick), he has a lot of websites and really does know what he’s talking about, not simply talking about a subject because he thinks money is in it. Back in 2009 we interview Nick La about how he created his blog, check it out. My favorite posts include:

The WordPress Podcast

Another website by the owner of Yoast. This websites content is provided in a different format, audio, or podcasts if you will. We all like learning in different ways and I love listening so that works well for me. They are not the only ones teaching, they also invite WordPress experts to come and talk about what they are doing and what you can learn from it. My favorite posts include:

Wp Recipes

Sometimes your looking for the answer to a WordPress question. This website most likely has that answer. Every post is another great tip or trick to do something WordPress related. My favorite posts include:

Wp Beginner

Wpbeginner is a large blog teaching WordPress users how to do more with it. The owner who is a personal friend of mine has some great tutorials ranging from code to SEO. Ever if you think your amazing with WordPress, there is still stuff to be learned on this website. My favorite posts include:

WPCandy

Jam packed with WordPress news, updates and tutorials. This is a must read for any programmer, developer and WordPress Fan. A great combination of learning, inspiration and awareness for WordPress users. My favorite posts include:

WPMU

A unique website about WordPress plugins, themes, how to guides, help and much, much more! This website is great for those more like us, who care not just about creating blogs but running them. My favorite posts includes:

Excellent post! I will check out most of these in the next day or two. I would also have to add ViperChill to this list; although it is not exclusively about Wordpress, it has a LOT of information about it as well, and Glen's posts are second to none in terms of useful, easily implementable suggestions. A must-read for sure! http://www.viperchill.com -j.

This list is such a huge help especially for those who are quite new to wordpress. Though blogging can generate income, doing it is fun and can be a stress reliever in itself as many of us know, so why not experiment and practice creativity, right. Thanks for this post. Keep it up!

I like the way you said "We all use it, it’s the best. Why would anyone put themselves at a disadvantage and use any other blogging software." And you're right... We ALL use wordpress for one simple reason: it's the best...

Great article. I also have found Hybrid Themes to be a useful site, I'm a fan of the theme 'Prototype' they have - it's highly extendable.

This, is getting sent directly to my business partner who handles all the wordpress stuff. I'm know he's gonna love this because he's an info-addict gunning for an edge just as much as I am. What I need to do is stop being ignorant and get my butt over to that wp beginner site and start honing my wp chops in anticipation of something happening that forces me overnight to start handling all this stuff. Thank you for this resource list! I trust a ton of people like me are gonna benefit from it!

Hey Michael, I just love your posts, you write really well. Could you just tell me a strategy about writing posts? Your content seems to have more of quality with quantity! I just love reading them all. And one more thing, how do we actually get the content outsourced? Could you please tell a few places where we could get some quality posts. Regards Nahid

I don't think I have seen any of these but they look interesting - I especially like the WP for Beginners one. I think the crux is to blog about a subject you feel passionate about and can connect well with others through.
