That's a lot more insightful than some of the tutorials I've seen. Thanks!

#12Excellent graphic describing wordpress theme file structure. It would be very interesting to know if other CMS's share a similar file structure. How does this compare to Drupal or Joomla for example?
As someone who works with both Wordpress and Drupal, let me just say that theming Wordpress feels easy and fun where Drupal feels too complex and very hard to grasp because there are so many aspects of the system that can be themed and each part does theming differently. Start using Drupal with CCK and views and you will know what I mean, you will know and weep :(
Agreed. For all the complaining people do about wordpress, it has one of the best theming design.
I was using "liquid" the other day, and it's not as flexible as wordpress in my opinion.

#13Notice the link at the end of the infographic. Boosting with backlinks is fun. I never used infographics for SEO, but that sure does seem to work for link/keyword juice on these types of sites.
I was all set to give this post props for it's helpful infographic til I too saw the cheezy ad plug. Even worse, it's not "powered by" or "brought to you by"... it's "This infographic was created by". Disappointing. Though this shouldn't impact my judgement of the value or utility of the infographic in imparting information... it just does.

Are you saying that CreditL0an isn't an infographic creation tool?

#16This proves that sufficiently advanced spam really is indistinguishable from content:

#17Ugh, there's a tide of spam that slowly erodes HN usability. It pains me to say it, but it's almost on every site.
I am not sure if an idea of a power user simply deleting this type of content, banning/warning the submitter helps. Mods on Reddit cause as much havoc as they fix.
I would gladly pay a small fee for a clean non-spammy HN. Let that fund be used for a couple part time mods.

#18It's not really the real anatomy of a Wordpress theme until you've included the spending 90% of your time fixing the thing to work properly in IE, although to be fair that seems to be quite a large part of web design in general.

#19My first impression was how disturbed I was to see the enormous ad "sidebar" coyly nestled on the right.
Then again, I think that's a fair observation.

#20Wordpress, despite it's "n00b"-y feeling, makes it really really ridiculously easy to get your MVP out the door. Simple account management, simple CMS'ing, and well documented enough so you can spend your time on your business and not your framework. Groupon's MVP was an WP blog and we used it for http://playlookit.com
Thank you -- I really appreciate that.
