Hehe. I have some, but PHP and WordPress are more my area.

Now… if only I had design-related skills.

I'm best at coming up with ideas for PHP/WordPress things, so I'll probably continue doing those for them once in awhile. I'd like to write something design-related for NETTUTS, but I just haven't had any ideas. Their editor posted a tweet saying they were kind of desperate for some design-related tutorials…

Maybe I should think about writing for TUTS+ too . Probably won't be writing about WordPress there though if I do.

Yeah, material is one of my big reasons for not guest-writing as much as I would like. TUTS+ pays well though, so it's worth socking away some good ideas once in awhile for them.

Yeah, I only do 1 post per week for WLTC right now since my schedule is quite hectic. I don't think I have enough material for TUTS+ sites though.

Cool. I've sent a total of two posts to NETTUTS.com, and both were technically accepted, but they only ever got around to publishing one. (No idea why…) I've been trying to do something for them every once in awhile.

Other than that I don't do a whole lot of guest writing anymore. I'd had posts published on Blogsolid and ProBlogger, and I've intended to to do more, but never really got around to it. I have enough trouble keeping up with my own blogs. (The $150/post that the TUTS+ sites pay is incentive enough though… )

Oh yeah… It was a real pain to implement that in WP125 after the fact.

Yeah… I made the mistake of forgetting it in the beginning and it's so much harder to work it in after the plugin matures.

Yup . I do some of my writing there now.

That was you? I didn't even notice…

I'm so glad that you've included localization. Too often this is forgotten by developers
