Most of my blogging experience is with WordPress, so this is likely to grow into a fairly big list

General WordPress Help: good background reading

• Aussie Bloggers Forum WordPress Area
• Lorelle on WordPress

WordPress Plugins: the following plugins are useful:

• TrackBackers: displays inbound links.
• Ultimate Tag Warrior: this used to be the best way to manage tags before they became part of core WordPress functionality, and still allows you to do more with tags as a “power user”.
• WP-o-matic: used to build pages out of RSS feeds. Read about my experience with it, and a practical example in use at Facibus On Blogging.

WordPress Themes: here are a few of my favourite themes and theme libraries:

• 100 Excellent Free WordPress Themes: a list compiled and tested by Smashing magazine. Impressive
  
• FreeWordPressThemes.com: hundreds of themes
• Jauhari: A directory of free themes.
• Mimbo (used on On Blogging Australia)
• WordPress Mobile Edition template: useful if you blog on a topic that is of interest to mobile blog readers.
• WordPress Theme Park: a collection of free and premium themes.
• WPSkins.org: a directory of free themes.
• YgoSearch: YGo produces a range of themes that are worth looking at.
