For the next few weeks, I will not be able to keep the blog updated as much as I tried to have in the past few months. I will keep going with the weekly videos, I doubt that I will stop viewing youtube ever. I am working on either doing small update to this theme and in the future getting my own custom theme from scratch.
It’s been another week, can you believe it? Summer is right around the corner and I can’t wait. This week on “Video Wednesday” I figure Ill throw some videos that I found on the development of Wordpress and Photoshop.
Are you a Junkie? Not like a drug addict like it is stated in Wikipedia.

But on getting on track, Junkies is the new way to get information. Thanks to Graham from imjustcreative.com for setting this up. What it is:
First and foremost they are a library of some of the more interesting and useful posts, links, articles and resources. All neatly stored in one easy to use Posterous blog. The emphasis is on what I personally like, subjects that I love and content that interest me. They are an extended personal resource of all the things that I love from Type, Logos, Photoshop, Macs etc.
The list of this goes on and on, and as the day’s go by Graham keeps adding on more resources and more junkies. So click on over and bookmark the sites, or just add Graham’s twitter to stay up-to-date. Become a Junkie!.
When building a WordPress site from scratch there is a lot of code to remember. So it always a good when you have a source of reference. On twitter I managed to find a good source, a link that lead me to a break down of the WordPress structure. It a nice list that breaks down WordPress into categories that will help you when coding. This is a sheet that I would print and stick to my desk!

I managed to get a copy of the “How to Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer“, the e-book. (Thanks again Graham) And it is a great reference if your learning to code up a new WordPress Theme or site from scratch. I highly recommend that you give this book a lot at.
How To Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer | Rockable
The book is aimed at anyone with a solid understanding of HTML/CSS. You don’t need to know PHP, you don’t need to have ever even touched WordPress before. The examples begin from scratch and build on each other, while basic PHP principles that are used are explained in an easy to understand manner.
If you’ve ever wanted to get started with WordPress theming, or you’re looking to take your skills to the next level with advanced theming concepts, this is the book for you!
So head on over to the Rockable site and download the sample page.
Reading around twitter, I found a nice link (thanks to mayhemstudios via twitter) to a nice collection of WordPress documentations. From breakdown what WordPress is – to getting your own domain – to even installing it own your PC. The list of links that can help you does on and on. A good way for new upcoming bloggers or web designers understand the WordPress Codex.
I found a nice article that will help people with WordPress already installed, setup there comments in a better manner. Some times a few tweaks helps make things better. But what is not broken shouldn’t be fix, right?! – nah tweaks are good.
