      Nice list of resources. I hadn’t heard of the OBox themes site before, so that was cool.

      After a cursory look through these sites, I’m really impressed with the overall quality. I’m looking forward to going through them in a bit more detail. Thanks for posting this list!

      Excellent (and useful) list of common tasks every WP Blogger should know about. Many of these I’ve learned using OJT, but having a Pro provide the 1-2-3 steps was a great find.

      In case you’re tracking such matters, I found your site from one of the guys I follow on Amplify.com

      I had to click through to his profile to note his WP blog and after noticing he was using one of your Premium themes, I followed the trail which lead me here.
