20 WordPress Rockstars to read and follow

WordPress Rockstar? For many this expression is often attributed with Adriaan Pienaar, who is also named in WordPress community Adii Rockstar or WordPress Rockstar. Maybe he fully deserves this title, but I have proposed in this article to enumerate all those who contribute greatly to the development of WordPress, through various methods: from the creation of themes or plugins, to providing tutorials and articles for whole WordPress community.

Also I would like to mention two bloggers: Speckyboy and kailoon which also provides a lot of interesting stuff for WordPress.

    Hello, thanks for considering me as a WordPress Rockstar, that is pretty cool. Considering the others that have been included in this list, I’m in with some great company.

  16. Jason Reply to this comment November 28

    Thank you very much for the list. I feel privileged to be a part of it.

  17. kailoon Reply to this comment November 28

    Hi, thanks for the mention :) Nice list!

  18. John Thomas Reply to this comment November 28

    All of those ‘web-designers’ just did the same thing over and over again. None of those designs are original, much less interesting or useable.

    Aside from a glorified list of links, you might have explained what made them “rockstars” (sic), aside from “my friends need traffic, business is way down”.

  19. Brian Gardner Reply to this comment November 28

    Thanks so much as well for being listed here – a number of VERY talented people which I feel privileged to be listed with!

  20. Kyle Eslick Reply to this comment November 28

    Thanks for including me on the list. That is great company!

    Also found a few new blogs to subscribe to.

  21. Lisa Sabin-Wilson Reply to this comment November 28

    Thanks for including me in your list of very talented WP folks! :)

  22. WP Cult Reply to this comment November 28

    There are some good Rock N Rollers or shall we say Wordstars!!

  23. Wessley Roche Reply to this comment November 29

    Hey, Thanks for the mention!

    I was wondering why there were many people following me on twitter all of a sudden.

    :-)

  24. Mehmet Reply to this comment November 29

    Thanks for the mention Pavel. I am glad to be with a great company.

    Same as Kyle, I also need to re-organize my rss list :)

  25. Brian Meagher Reply to this comment November 29

    Awesome list. Thanks so much.
    It’s a WP list of Who’s Who!

  26. hamdan Reply to this comment November 29

    Wow, Wordstars!! Very cool list.
    I’d also recommend lesterchan for his awesome wordpress plugins collections, and the WebLogToolsCollection crew for their contributions for wordpress.
    Cheers :)

  27. PChere Reply to this comment December 1

    Very nice list. I found some great blogs out there.

  28. Joost de Valk Reply to this comment December 1

    Hi Pavel, nice list, I guess I need to make sure you get to know me too :)

  29. Jeffro2pt0 Reply to this comment December 1

    Hey Joost, you have my vote :)

  30. Joost de Valk Reply to this comment December 2

    Heh, Thanks Jeff! :)

  31. Blog Design Studio Reply to this comment December 5

    Indeed this is a very fine list of the wordpress people whom one should follow. The reason they are here is because they are passionate about wordpress and have promoted it. very well deserved.

  32. Justin Tadlock Reply to this comment December 6

    Well, I somehow missed this post when it was written. Thanks for including me on the list of WP rockstars.

  33. Stephen Cronin Reply to this comment December 8

    Great list, but I agree that Joost should be on there…

  34. Jauhari Reply to this comment December 29

    Thanks you for add on this list, my Twitter URL is Jauhari Twitter

  35. LinkLaunder.com Reply to this comment January 20

    Hi

    Great list.. Quick note: wordpressguy.com and wpguy.com links are mixed up. Minor thing though, just thought I’d mention it. Cheers

  36. Nathan Ketsdever Reply to this comment February 23

    I would add Design Intellection (his designs are simple, but sick!) and Studionashvegas to the list. Mitch on Alltop and he’s about to launch Wordpressdoctor, which has a nice design as well. Great list. Very nice.

  37. Chris Reply to this comment June 20
