I found a short list of very useful links that I wanted to share with you:

The concept began as “Let’s throw everything away that we assume to be proper and correct and see what we can come up with when we have no preset conditions”.The result is a semantically, aesthetically and structurally different WordPress than you’ve ever known before. This is not your grandma’s WordPress!”
  • 7 Secrets to give your blog the edge - Number one:”Format your text - This is my biggest tip. The amount of blogs that I see with huge chunks of text is amazing. People on the internet do not read paragraphs, they read in sentences. Try to keep your paragraphs down to 3-4 lines tops. Use headings, sub headings and bullet points.”
  • 10 Essential WordPress plug-ins - “Ready to start your own blog or online portfolio? Interested in downloading and incorporating WordPress into it? Or maybe you need to spruce up your current site? Well here are 10 essential WordPress plugins to get your blog started today.

    Maintaining a blog requires some work, but with WordPress plugin capabilities it has become a lot more convenient and less time consuming.

    Literally take these plugins and dump them into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory, turn them on in your Dashboard and Voila! A fully functional blog with all your vital needs.”
