Every so often you come across a site that makes you wonder why you never found it before, and Andy Gongea's GraphicRating site is one of those for me. This collection of favorite WordPress Tutorials and Resources is extremely helpful, as is his WordPress Cheat Sheet. I often gauge the quality of sites by who they link to, who they cite as authorities, and who they admire. Andy's heros are my heros: Zeldman, Molly, Meyer, Shea, Moll, Croft, Snook are some he specifically names in his Ten Things a Web Designer Should Consider article. In this Tutorials and Resources article, he links to quality tutorials from other designers I know and respect, like Chris Coyier's CSS-Tricks and Ian Stewart's ThemeShaper.com among many others. In other words, if I hadn't already found a lot of these great sites, this one post would have set me up really nicely! I look forward, therefore, to exploring all the great tutorials and resources I haven't yet discovered on my own that he lists.
