    Thank you again for giving me the chance to contribute to the blog that actually got me started on WordPress all those years ago! It has been a surreal and fun ride. :)

    If anyone is wondering where to go now, we published Where to Find WordPress News yesterday.

    I’ll miss all of you kind and wonderful folks, but I’m sure we’ll cross paths again some where some day.

    I religiously checked the new an updated plugins every time there was a new “edition” of those posts. You will be missed!

    Thanks for the blog, I’ll miss it!

    Always looked forward to the new plugins and theme releases that you assembled. Will continue to do so. But thank you for all you’ve done for the WP community, and me.

    Well, I am definitely going to miss this blog. Every single plug-in that I use was found through a recommendation here, and most of the themes I’ve used over the last couple years too. A shame, but life must go on.

    I remember a day nine years ago when you helped me with one of your old plugins. I was a n00b to WordPress and I was having a hard time converting from outdated B2. People like you made it all easier for people like me back then and changed our lives in some way. Thank you and good luck with whatever you decide to do. :)

    All the best to you and your family.

    Good luck Mark! This was the first WordPress news blog that I ever followed. Sad to see it go but thanks for keeping it going for 9 years!

    Good luck, Mark! I used to check WLTC daily in my WordPress dashboard when I started using WordPress and referred back to several of the how to posts when I began theme development. :) I’ll never forget the excitement of having a theme linked on Weblog Tools Collection and being interviewed here by Jeff Chandler.

    Mark, I owe so much of where I am today because of Weblog Tools Collection … and am so grateful for all you’ve done for WordPress and me personally.

    It’s a bittersweet day … I wish you and your family the best though!

    I did not know any good resource for themes and plugin updates like this site!
    It has become my everday routine, to check – it was not coming to me, through RSS feed. It was something, that I have visited every day!
    Thank and let your good and kind work towards the community beloved by others too!

    Thanks for all the great work Mark. I have always admired this site and your work :)

    Although I am saddened by Mark’s decision I also understand it. Real life and family comes first. It was a remarkable run. I’ll always look to this site as the ultimate WordPress resource.

    I also want to personally thank Mark for recognizing my past work in the forums by making me an administrator and then granting me fill-in author status on the main site. I haven’t been active on this site for a long time due to real life getting in the way but I had a lot of fun. Not only that, the experience was also educational and rewarding. I learned so much about WordPress themes by my work in the forums and I had so much fun by interacting with everyone on the main site.

    Nothing but good memories of this place.

    Good luck with the future Mark. Hope we run into each other again. And once again, thanks.

    Thanks for great work Mark. Best wishes for your future endeavour… :-)

    I still remember excitement of submitting my first plugin in new plugin forum (and then waiting for your roundup blog posts to spread the word about it)
