24 Great Tips & Tutorials To Get The Most Out Of WordPress
WordPress can be so much more than just a blogging platform and can be used to run many types of sites from personal sites to online magazines and portfolios.
I guess I could say I’m a hardcore WordPress user. Actually, almost every website I’ve designed/coded runs on WordPress.
Throughout the years I’ve learned a lot about WordPress and how it can be used to run almost any type of website. Today I’d like to share some great resources and tutorials that have helped me along the way! :)

Awesome collection of wordpress resources… I knew most of them like css-tricks,noupe and nettuts but the ones related to plugin and widget development are very useful for me! Thanks a ton!

Thanks for making such a comprehensive roundup of advice. Some of the WP hacks and tricks were particularly helpful. Not only have I spotted how to do a few tricks I had been attempting to work out myself recently, but also spotted some which have given me ideas I hadn’t thought of yet. I am slowly (and subtly) customising my blog with new functionality and layout edits and these resources really ought to speed up the process.
I would be interested to hear what hacks and mods you have made, what was the best customisation you have done?
