    I subscribe to several wp sites including Themeforest, WPCandy, woothemes, and WPdesigner among others. That usually keeps me up to date on the latest

  4. Keefe November 21st, 2008

    Google is the best way to get resources. I google for keyword like “Designing Wordpress Theme” and get fantastic websites like Themetation =). As for wordrpess specific functions, Wordpress Codex is the best site

  5. John Grinde November 21st, 2008

    I subscribe to sites like the Revolution Two blog, the WordPress Publisher blog, as well as the official WordPress Codex. And of course, yours!

    I use Google to find information about WordPress themes, and also I am subscribed to several feeds about the topic of blogging (including SEO, free themes, plugins, etc.) and web design. Some of them are hongkiat, mashable, smashing magazine, loon design, ayuda wordpress…

  7. Madara November 21st, 2008

    I loved your post on how to create a theme from scratch. I am sort of a N00b designer, but I want to learn more. I subscibe to your site, Blog oh blog, blogsessive, Daily Blog Tips, Jeffro 2.0, Themelab, Themetation, and WPCandy.

  8. glucko November 21st, 2008

    I don´t like google to look for design cause some images have copyright and besides time is money, so i rather to go to sites that have good designs at good prices and don´t spend a long time.
    I like themenation (good designs, fair prices), rockettheme (it is for joomla but i like it too) and woothemes (nice themes but a little expensive), but bestwpthemes.com, wpcandy and some free templates dirs sometimes are good to get themes and convert it to wordpress for an emergency.
    To get some photos and icons i use istockphoto and some more.

  9. Russell Gregory November 22nd, 2008

    I use this site which I read through the RSS feed. I get quite a bit of info from browsing the codex when I’m bored. I’m just getting into this whole thing and am looking to use WP for a CMS and am not sure I can pull it out. When I do get it figured out, I’ll be doing quite a bit of WP design.

    Thanks for a great site.

  16. Ty Hanson November 24th, 2008

    I use the WordPress Codex most of the time. Other than that I’m a trial and error kind of guy. Failing that, Google.

  17. Eimantas Juras November 24th, 2008

    I’m getting all information from codex.wordpress.org, but nettuts and themetation was helpful too :)

  18. Michael Carøe Andersen November 25th, 2008

    There seems to be vast amounts of info just by googling for things so im not faithful to any sites. But the Codex probably have the answer for me 40% of the time.
