"WP-Members™ is a plugin to make your WordPress® blog a membership driven site. Perfect for newsletters, premium content sites, and more! The plugin restricts selected WordPress® content to be viewable by registered site members. Unlike other registration plugins and WordPress® itself, WP-Members™ puts the registration process inline with your content (and thus your branded theme) instead of the native WP login page. WP-Members™ works "out-of-the-box" with no modifications to your theme, but it is scalable for users that want to customize the look and feel, or want to restrict only some content. It is a great tool for sites offering premium content to subscribers, and is adaptable to a variety of applications."

"WPML, Easy Translation Manager for WordPress, Google Language Translator, Multilingual Press Here's a riddle for you: how can you create a very appealing site with a responsive design that still sends your visitors away at first glance? As the Internet is becoming more accessible around the world, more eyes will be on your site. And if your visitors don't understand English, they are going to look for a way to translate your copy (I guess I should have given you a longer time to ponder the riddle). If your visitors literally can't read your copy they're certainly not going to stick around your site just for the pretty interface. If you're a world news site, you are going to want to cater to your non-English speaking readers as well. And what if you aren't trying to cater to a worldwide market? Remember that the many people in the United States use English as a second-language and would much prefer to read something in their native language… So in the spirit of continuing my series of reviewing my favorite plugins, let's take a look at some of the best language translation plugins that the WordPress community has to offer."

"In the previous tutorial I showed you how to style the posts on your main blog page according to their category, creating color coding by category. A lot of sites that use this technique also take it further by adding distinct styling to each section of their site, in a way that co-ordinates with the styling on the main blog page or home page. You can just use a simple color scheme or add completely different styling to each section, maybe with a different logo or branding for different parts of your organisation, or even a different layout. An example is the London Times website, which uses a different color for each section of its site. The front page uses these colors in a banner above each post, as shown in the screenshot:"

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.
