The WordPress Community

Feedspot put together a list of the most popular WordPress blogs to follow, based on a mix of their Facebook fans, Twitter followers, and the website’s Alexa rank.

Going through the list, I noticed that I had a connection as a writer or contributor for many of them—including a regular gig with #2 on the list—WPMU DEV!

Here’s how my relationships with these popular WordPress blogs to follow all sorts out:

• I write consistently for #2 (WPMU DEV) and my articles are frequently referenced in their content roundup email newsletters (this one features three of them!).
• I wrote a guest post for #6 (Torque).
• I’ve featured #13 (WP Newsify) in expert roundups and Peter Nilsson has likewise featured me in expert roundups that he’s created.
• I recently started writing mega guides for #19 (Kinsta).
• #21 (Code in WP) has featured articles I’ve written in their content roundups almost every month (check out my Pinterest article featured in February 2018).
• I gave a live webinar for #23 (iThemes) after Nathan Ingram came to WordCamp Denver and wanted me to reshare my “How to Write A Kick-Ass Blog Post that Drives Traffic, Gets Shares, and Accomplishes Business Goals” WordCamp talk.
• I’m an affiliate and customer of #33 (TeslaThemes).
• #38 (WP Buffs) reached out to me for blog content creation. Since then, I’ve written one post and am working on my next!
• #43 is WordPress.tv and I have a WordCamp talk recording available here from WordCamp Denver! I also spoke at a past WordCamp Chicago event but recordings aren’t looking likely to be uploaded at this point. I teach my WordCamp Denver class on Skillshare, which has been featured multiple times!
• #31 (Pagely) is one of my favorite clients—they let me explore a wide variety of WordPress topics in my writing (like what it’s like to organize a WordCamp event) and have been known to recommend me to other WordPress professionals on Twitter!
