A primer for WordPress themes, plug-ins and tips

WordPress is a powerful and very extensible blogging engine that is gaining more CMS (Content Management System) features with each release. As anyone who has downloaded a copy can probably tell, the directory structure is pretty friendly to hacks and plug-ins, but unless you are your own WordPress coding ninja, you might be asking yourself: where exactly can all these themes, plug-ins and hacks be found? Thus the idea for a short roundup of WordPress download sites and communities was born. Following is a starter list of sites for themes, plug-ins, tips and tricks of all kinds, ripe for helping you take your WordPress-powered site as far as you need to go. Since we're sure we haven't found every site for WordPress goodness, feel free to add your favorites in the comments and we'll update this post with the good ones.

New blog comment tracking features for CoComment

coCommentI used coComment for awhile when it was new, but it didn't take long for me to decide it wasn't really worth the trouble for me. It recently got some new features, however, that may change my tune. Marshall Kirkpatrick at TechCrunch has the scoop. In case you're not familiar, coComment makes it easier to keep track of comments you and other people make on blogs. If you see an interesting discussion going on in a blog's comments and want to keep an eye on it, or want to see if anyone has replied to your comment, you can use coComment to track the discussion. Previously, coComment only tracked comments made by other coComment users (making it not especially useful compared to competitor Co.mments), but now it tracks all comments, and furthermore it now has the ability to track conversations you haven't commented on. It also has a new "MetaConversation" feature that lets you add comments (stored on coComment's servers) to web sites that don't otherwise allow comments. coComment is free and works either via a Firefox extension or a multi-browser bookmarklet.
