Let me tell you that at the end of 2006, the situation is not better. I have just began with Wrodpress, and let me tell you : I am very disappointed. The list of templates is fantastic though - I love it - It seems so professional, but well... coming from beta-blogger (so easy, I can focus on webmastering - and I understand the required level is just not the same), tweaking a code here is just a pain in the neck, makes me losing days about stupid details (am not a professional coder). "Permissions" stuff is just horrendous - making a few plugins useless - am not joking about security. These templates are so different - I would rather fewer templates that are developped more in depth. I want support as well. Starting off with wordpress is like hell. Their support is not structured (useless tutorials (there is no tutorial) with too many links everywhere (great from a seo point of view, but in order to try to understand sthg, take your week off for simple explanations or better for u to visit third-party websites). Forum help support is just inexistant - impossible to find a relevant post (it is not organised). Right I understand a few questions might be redundant - but as there is no pedagogical tutorial and no way to find previous posts... well. Maybe wordpress is just for professional coders ! I am seriously thinking about moving to another blog pro platform. If you have any idea, I am interested to know about it. Best.

I was hoping to try to stir up the WordPress community, but alas, there was nothing but a faint trickle of ideas though I am not surprised by the results. I am sure some will blame the summer months or the short span of this challenge, but honestly, I think it just shows the current state of the theme and plugin community. With up to a total of 10 spots open to have a link to their theme or plugin on every page of Blogging Pro for a month, I expected to atleast get 10 entries, but I did not even get that many.
