It has been awhile since I’ve done one of these, so here is a quick post highlighting some interesting posts from around the blogosphere that are related to WordPress.

CagIntranet explains how to create a category loop to display those posts in your sidebar. Chris Pearson has also written a great post about the ideal way to use your blogs categories.
Weblog Tools Collection has done a final WordCamp Dallas 2008 wrap up. The post includes notes and pictures from the event (including pictures of the WTC authors!)
ProBlogDesign has posted 60 RSS icons that you can use for your blog. This post includes some incredible RSS icons that anyone can use.
Noupe has posted a powerful list of WordPress plugins. This is a large collection of WordPress plugins anyone can use and should help you find just about anything you need.
Theme Lab provides a great tutorial guiding you on how to put your available domains to good use. I have about 200 domains I’m not currently using and I’ve been trying to figure out if I should sell them or start using them. If done tastefully and legally, this could be a great use for these domains.
WordPress Max has written a post explaining how to use your WordPress blogroll feature for site navigation in your sidebar. This is a creative and interesting idea allowing you to create links from your dashboard to feature content.
Performancing explains how to use WordPress custom fields to auto-embed YouTube videos.

I know I haven’t mentioned it yet, mostly because I am not able to attend. (Can we have one of these in the midwest?)
Anyway, if you live within driving distance of Dallas, Texas, I recommend you check out WordCamp Dallas starting tomorrow. It goes for two days, and most of the big WordPress names will be in attendance.

For more information about WordCamp Dallas, you can check out the official page.

If you are able to attend and would like to share your impressions with our readers, please let us know!
