If you’re looking for a directory to list your WordPress site, you can find a specific WordPress Directory that can match your needs. Directories are a great place to try and get some more traffic to your site and free directory submission is a great way to do some easy SEO for your site.

There are also some plugins and themes that you can use to set up your own directory. I might do a few reviews of these in the future, but so far I haven’t really had the time to evaluate any of them. If you have any experience, feel free to drop a comment and let us know what you’ve used and what you thought of it.

WPTavern – Have a read

If you’re looking for a good place to learn about WordPress, there’s a great website called WpTavern that brings together a wealth of information about plugins, themes and other related products. There’s information about BuddyPress, BBPress and WPMU; three products that together make one awesome social network. There’s more about that in the future, but that’s a project I can’t speak about at the moment.

It doesn’t matter if you have a blog about jokes, or one about LCD HDTV; it’s always best to learn as much about the platform you’re using; just so that you can use it to the best of its ability.

Some new WordPress sites

With WordPress 2.9 downloaded almost 2.5 million times so far, you can easily imagine how many new WordPress sites get deployed every day. That number is probably just a subset of the number of WordPress sites out there, after all, many don’t get refreshed every time a new version of WordPress comes out. Just this week, I’ve pushed out SherrilynneStarkie.com and am working on jcc.im. I know that a friend of mine is working on the All Saints, Hove site too, and that’s just today.

I think part of the attraction is the fact that it’s so easy to do build something. Putting a site together is quite easy and I actually quite enjoy popping into a coffee shop, relaxing in one of their modern sofas, getting an Internet connection and tweaking one of my sites.

Are you using WordPress yourself yet?

New site: SherrilynneStarkie.com

I’ve just put a new WordPress site live called: SherilynneStarkie.com which, as you probably guessed, is my friend Sherrilynne‘s new website. She decided to go down the personal brand route and this site pulls together information about her, her new blogging platform and a platform for her lifestream. They’re all things that are easy to do with WordPress regardless on if you have a personal website, or a site about the Outer Banks.

The site uses a free version of a theme called Arthemia which works really nicely and comes very much recommended. Next time I might even use the premium version.
