This post is for people who work with WordPress: themers, WordPress coders and consultants, and anyone who wants to do things more advanced than installing plugins with WordPress. If you’re not in this market, be on your way, this poll doesn’t apply to you!

If you’re still here… I’ve been considering writing a book on “Advanced WordPress.” The market in mind is all of the themers, coders, consultants, and intrepid blog tweakers who may know a bit of PHP (or a lot), and want to go beyond the basics with WordPress. There are a lot of books that cover WordPress basics, but not a lot aimed at more advanced uses of WordPress. A sample of the topics covered would be:

  • Plugins
  • Hooks
  • Advanced WordPress administration and automation
  • Themes
  • Advanced theme tricks

It would be part reference, part walkthrough.

If this book were available, and you are in the market described above, how much (if anything) would you be willing to pay for such a book?

Thanks for your participation!

WordPress ThemesWhy I Created a WordPress Theme Framework by Justin Tadlock is a good look at the reasons why WordPress Theme designers and developers should work with a framework when designing a WordPress Theme. A strong Theme framework creates a solid canvas upon which to build your WordPress Themes.

If you are or considering building WordPress Themes for public use, this is a good article to consider.

WordPress News has restarted its Plugin Review with an invitation to all WordPress Plugin authors and lovers to submit their WordPress Plugins to be reviewed over the next year. Starting January 4, 2009, they will be reviewing one Plugin a week as their Featured Plugin.

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind WordPress Theme Plugin authors how much I adore their work, and recommend that they do better when it comes to promoting their WordPress Plugins. Two years ago, I spent a month reviewing and writing about hundreds of WordPress Plugins and wrote a love letter to WordPress Plugin authors asking them to help us help them by providing more keyword specific introductions and descriptions about their WordPress Plugins.

If you are submitting your Plugin to the Weblog Tools Collection for review, follow their guidelines and my strong recommendations to make the process painless for everyone, especially the readers and those who want your WordPress Plugin.

I’m a big fan of and their weekly WordPress Plugins and Themes reports, so I’m eager for this year of non-stop weekly WordPress Plugins.
