I was digging through digg.com this morning and found an excellent article from designreviver.com titled “How I Learned To Build WordPress Themes“. It provides many sources of information including programs, tutorials, color swatches and more. Definitely a great source of information whether you want to build your own theme or start building themes for other people.

While I was cruising around the internet searching for a cool new theme for this website, I stumbled upon www.themelab.com. After reviewing tons of their high quality free themes, I realized they also had some helpful articles about the WordPress publishing platform.

I found this really cool article titled “Put your dormant domains to use with WordPress“. It’s a very simple and straightforward tutorial about how to set up your WordPress blog to automatically syndicate posts from other blog feeds. He goes on to say:

For those of you domainers who have a lot of unused domain names earning nominal revenue at old-fashioned domain parking services or simply collecting dust and not doing anything, read on. Developed domains will almost always outperform one-click landers at parking sites. One of the easiest ways to do quickly develop a domain is to set up an automated WordPress blog.

Just a small note before continuing. This isn’t a guide on making content scraping/rewriting splogs. I’m merely going over a much more efficient way to monetize unused domains, or possibly to augment your current blog with regularly updated news from relevant feeds. Aggregating RSS feeds legally is a perfectly legitimate way to add content to your WordPress blog.

WordPress is freaking awesome but at some point you have to tweak your site at least a little bit. Most bloggers end up changing all kinds of things especially if you have downloaded a custom theme from WordPress.

I was surfing around the blogosphere and I found this site called wpcandy.com. They have lots of great stuff if you use WordPress. They teamed up with Liquidicity and designed a really cool WordPress help sheet.

If you you’re new and don’t know a lot about code, or maybe even if you do, The WordPress Help Sheet will help you get it done. It provides a list of all the major WordPress code snippets that get used throughout the site and what they do.

Visit wpcandy.com to download the help sheet.
