OK, so it’s actually Monday where I am, but given it’s still Sunday in the US and I don’t want to post anything that brings 901am down again right away, a quick rap up of some weekend goodies worth a read.
Smashing Magazine has a list of 83 Beautiful WordPress Themes you probably haven’t seen. I’ve seen some of them, but not all. It’s getting harder to find a good WordPress theme because there are soooooo many available now, it takes for ever to wade through them all. Some really nice templates on this list.
Daily Blog Tips has 30 Traffic Generation Tips. Wise words.
The Spin Starts Here takes a dance with Cha Cha, proving why the minimum wage is the US is woeful.
Trevor Cook points to an article at The Age on website accessibility. Are you still using Captcha’s on your blog? You shouldn’t be.
Barack Obama’s website is giving interesting suggestions to readers, according to TechCrunch, with a search example of “Gay Nigger Association of America -#@ for Obama”.

I’ll be the first to step up and admit that it’s classless to toot your own horn, but any WordPress theme list that includes the likes of Hemingway (and its 15 derivatives) but leaves out Cutline is a joke at best.
Oh and to follow up on that, here’s Smashing Magazine’s mantra:
The bigger your list, the bigger your traffic.
Does anyone really make use of 317 list items? Are you not bored after number four?
Oh come on, Cutline sucks.
I was kidding, of course :)
I agree with you Chris on Cutline, although I would note one thing on Cutline, I wouldn’t touch it in a million years :-)
But in a good way, because its been so successful that at least for my tastes, it’s bordering on being over used by people out there.
Duncan — I understand that a thousand times over. Another notable omission is Tarski, which is, in my opinion, the most complete WordPress theme on the planet.
Chris, I’m with ya man, I agree — it is classless.
Thanks, Mike — aim for the other kidney next time.
