  • Thanks (on both counts), Brian.
  • Great list; thanks for putting it together. I shall bookmark it for future reference -- there's quite a lot in there I want to come back to.
  • Steffan - great list. I also use getwordpressed.com by Scott Hendison. Taught me a great deal about using WordPress as a CMS for websites - and I do that successfully now.
  • Andrea,

    Thanks for the pointer. I've added it to the list.
  • Great list..... You done a good research in listing all of this.... Appreciate it, lots of help for me.
  • Hi Steffan,

    First - thanks for the post. I'll consider this my WP resource page from now on.

    Second - I hate to admit to being such a nube, but I can't seem to find this answer anywhere else. My posts display on my home page but in order to leave a comment, you have to click the post title, which then takes you to the "post" with the "add a comment" feature at the bottom. How do I set up so that when I post, the "add a comment" section shows on the bottom of the post on my main page? It seems like everywhere else I stumble to, this is the case.

    Thanks for your help with this. I appreciate any words of wisdom or links you could provide.
  • George,

    Thanks for the kind words.

    The "problem" you're having, isn't actually a problem at all. It's just the
    WP theme you're using is coded that way - it's designed so that people use
    the comment count link at the top. Don't worry. Bloggers are savvy. If they
    want to comment, they'll find the link. If you really want people to always
    see it, I suggest using the "more" function when you're typing posts. Insert
    it somewhere after the first paragraph of your post so that people who want
    to keep reading have to click through to the post. Having excerpts on your
    front page is good practice. It makes your content scannable, and it has SEO
    benefits. Good luck.
  • Awesome post. Thank you so much for the long list of resources. You just made my life a whole lot easier =)
  • Thanks for the kind words - if you find any of your own, add it in the
    comments!
