    Thanks for mentioning my podcast, that was pretty awesome of you. However, the link to the WordPress Podcast is wrong as it points to a YouTube video. Instead, it should be http://wp-community.org/

    Thank you for the inclusion, however, you’ll need to fix 48 and 49. Don’t you hate it when it screws up your number count. :D

    There are some great resources here. Wonderful.

    I have visited this site on many an occasion now but this post is the 1st one that I have ever commented on.

    Congratulations on such a fine article and site I have found it very helpful and informative – I only wish that there were more out there like this one.

    I never leave empty handed, sometimes I may even be a little disappointed that I may not agree with a post or reply that has been made. But hey! that is life and if every one agreed on the same thing what a boring old world we would live in.

    Keep up the good work and cheers.

    Didn’t see anything for Adsense and Wordpress, so have a look at this plugin which makes it incredibly easy.

    I had like to thank you for creating a great list of wordpress hacks and tut’s which is what I require at this point of time. Here’s why I had like to thank you:

    I had just ordered the wordpress theme design ebook and book but its unfortunate that it will be released in May 2008 whereas it was about to be delivered yesterday to my mailbox as well as postal address in a weeks time from today.

    So, I will have to slog hard to just create my own wordpress theme as I’m a novice programmer and designer. I dont know photoshop, PHP and dreamweaver, and I will learn to use them this month before I eventually get my ebook on wordpress theme design from packtpub.

    There aren’t any ebooks available in the market for wordpress theme design as of now and the only that was about to come out is delayed for publishing by a month as mentioned by me earlier.

    thanks-a-million :-)
