I present you a list of 31 references to several hundreds of excellent Wordpress themes that I’m sure you’ll want to bookmark!

The post title results from a straight sum of the values present on each of the references. Most naturally several themes - the best ones - are mentioned on more than one post or article.

References have been chosen according to my recognition of authority to the mentioned sources. There may be more, there may be others but the ones bellow are the ones I personally consider meaningful.

Pluginmeter is a website with a dubious utility but still (considering human love and attraction for tops, lists and statistics) worth the reference.

The service crawls the web looking for Wordpress installations indexing a list of the most used plugins in the planet. Nation specific tops are also available.

Last time I visited the site, this was the Top10 for Worpress plugins:

1. Akismet (89,3%)
2. Hello (79,7%)
3. WP Database Backup (54,8%)
4. WP-Cache (21,1%)
5. Widgets (19,5%)
6. PodPress (17,6%)
7. WP-ContactForm (14,7%)
8. Sitemap (14,1%)
9. Markdown (13,7%)
10. Ultimate Tag Warrior (13,4%)

No big suprises right?

Due to a trip plan to an European city where I honestly didn’t knew if the subway was an option on transportation. I came up with a short but useful list of maps (resources) for subways across the world. Hope you find it as useful as I did (will). Some of the maps need a severe update but they’re still good enough for the typical trip planning.

UrbanRail.net - Hundreds of subway maps. You can also find very useful information on historical facts, ticket prices and some links to the official websites whenever they’re available.

Subway Maps (Amadeus) - Not really a website. Just one of the tools for travellers made available by Amadeus.net.

Subways - A very geek-style list of map resources.

PSP Subway Maps - Post by Endgadget (2005) with links for PSP usable maps. Still, I think you should keep your PSP on you bag when travelling.

Happy planning!

 

Microblogging, gtd, notepad, isolation fear, inexplicable psychological disturb, whatever… no real Internet user can go without it. You guessed right (well the title and image may have helped a little), it’s Twitter.

Proving it’s importance VirtualHosting compiled an excellent 50+ Guides, Hacks & Scripts that you may be interested in (Twitter addicted or not).

Happy tweaking.

TechnoTarget have published an amazing list of RSS resources and alternatives. This long list is categorized trough several topics, f.y.i.: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux RSS feed readers, cross-platform feed readers, online directories, RSS to e-mail converters, feed validation services, feed managers and RSS feed mixers. I see a few good dozen reasons to visit TechnoTarget.

HDRcreme is a great HDRi (High Dinamic Range Imaging) photo gallery website that allows users to share HDR photos, get a start on the subject and/or share knowledge with other users. The website can also be seen has a great image hosting service. There’s also a voting and commenting system available. Because HDRi is a yet-to-be-popular subject I want to list some of the websites that for sure you’ll get you interested on this subject.

If you know any additional resource that may useful for other users, please let me know by commenting on this post.

Additional Resources:

- Chromasia (exceptional HDR photo gallery)
- John Miles Gallery
- Vanilla Days (about 150 HDR photos)
- HDR Japan (fantastic HDR photo site about Japan)
- HDR Tutorial (using Photomatix)
- Several HDRi tutorials
- HDR on Flickr (a bit of everything, quality speaking)

Web World published a list of some of the best Flash works founded by it’s author during 2007. This list, though short and clearly focused on a very specific kind of Flash art, is an excellent quality sample and, I hope, an inspiration for some of you readers.

While you’re at it, take a few minutes and let yourself discover Web World. Though low on the number of posts is more than worthwhile.

Smashing Magazine, as usual, yet another truly amazing list of resources that spare us, mere mortals, time and work. This time you can get your hands on 100 Excellent Free Wordpress Themes organized, illustrated and ready to use.

Give it a try.

With an already published (January 3rd) list of the most influential blogs in Europe, Wikio now publishes a list with the 20 most influential blogs in the planet, better yet, a planet that doesn’t include Asia. Nevertheless you can find the crème-de-la-crème on this list of well known and (truly) excellent blogs. I must call you attention for the Spanish blog listed in the 13th place (Microsiervos) and the German blog, Basic Thinking, that got the 18th spot in the list. The 10th placed conquered by the Techcrunch’s French version doesn’t present a big surprise and also very normal is the fact that 17 out of 20 blogs are “Made in USA”.

This way to follow the Wikio Top evolution.

Happy readings.
