I have just closed my poll about what other WordPress sites you visit on a regular basis and given the number of responses that I got I have decided that a few more polls wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Results: Which WordPress sites do you visit on a regular basis?

The clear winner of this poll (not that it was a competition) was WPCandy. The were around 160 votes in all and 41 of those were for WPCandy. Those guys have clearly captured the interest of WordPress users and developers.

Graph showing results of the Poll.

There were 24 other sites listed in the poll, including four that were adding under ‘Other’: WPStart, Nathan Rice, Justin Tadlock, and Wordpress Deutschland.

What are you when not a superstar blogger?

Last night I went into Leeds to meet up with a group of Northern Bloggers for a chat and a curry, and one of the interesting conversations I had was about the jobs that people do back in the real world. It is really quite interesting that when you get a group of bloggers together you all think of each as types of bloggers in the same way as you might think of someone as an accountant, or plumber. When you ask someone what they do you are more likely to get the answer, well I blog about X, rather than, I answer calls on a support desk, or I shuffle paper.

What does come across at though is that actually blogging very often is a part time gig. So I wondered what is it that most people do? Are most WordPress users and developers coders by day, or do they do something really different. That is the point of this poll.

I’ve started the ball rolling with my day job which is as a financial compliance policy specialist. So what do you do?

At German web design is 1 word – most of the people thought webdesign is graphic design and nothing else.

But I think it is design for the web ;) So a webdesigner has to know something about design, coding,
-webdesign without a little bit knowledge of seo is 2008 and above like ” to shoot yourself in the foot” as webdesigner ( I hope this figure of speech replies my meanings correct ;) – I love dict-leo.org .. )

The pet of my family is 22 ;) so I'm young enough but I'm never a school girl ;).
My first job was and is still today personal coach. And I like both: pure technical – and to work with people.

I think it is necessary for all sole trade to have a second string to there bow.

And to use WordPress – it is still the simplest cms I know ;)

regards
Monika

That's an impressive list Monika. It's quite something to have that kind of variety of work to choose from.

It was good to meet you too Jon. It was a good night, all the better for the curry I think.

I think getting to know some interesting people has been the best part of blogging for me.

Hi Andrew

Good to meet you at the Wordpress get-together last night. For me, I guess I'm a “business blogger” – our website is one of our business' best marketing tools, and blogging is the best way to attract and engage our potential customers. But, as with the meeting last night, blogging has also become a way of meeting interesting people and making new friends!

Cheers, Jon
