WordPress World Map

WorldPress World Map is a place where you can add yourself to the map and see how many WordPress users are in your area. The site was created by Oliver Schlöbe. Whether you are a company that is focused on using WordPress, a core developer, a plugin developer, theme designer, blogger, or even just a fan, you are welcome. The site even has markers for WordCamps that have taken place.

Just visit the site and you can either click on where you are from on the map, or sign in using Twitter oAuth. If other users on the map are also using Twitter, you can click on their little icon marker and can view the user’s profile and even follow them.

The site is a great idea, especially for those interested how many WordPress users there are and where they are from.

Have you mapped yourself yet?

There are quite a few sites dedicated to extending a helping hand. Some for free, some for a fee.

However, do not forget about the WordPress Support forums! It is a forum that is full of many people who regularly answer any questions that come up, even myself. If you have not signed up there, you really should try it. A lot of people may have the same question. A lot of the questions fall under:

- installation
- bug issues
- plugins
- development of WordPress
… and much more.

It really is a great community to start finding any answers for your WordPress needs. For newbies, the forum is great because a lot of the people answering the questions have experienced the same issues. Some of the plugin developers frequent the site as well, so it is a great way to have a centralized place for even them to improve their own plugins.

For those who are knowledgeable about WordPress, it can be a way to further yourself if your advice is very helpful. Also, the kicker is – it is free!

There are not enough mentions out there praising the WordPress support forums. In fact, there are not many praises out there for WordPress-related forums. WP Addict will eventually dedicate a resource section for WordPress users to find what they need in the community for their project.
