Editor’s note: next Tuesday I will be starting a new series titled “Ten Questions With…” and every week I will feature an interview with a top blogger from across all genres. My first interview will be with Cameron Low the new owner of NorthxEast, so please check back.

This is going to be my last list EVER! Okay, well maybe not forever, but I am done for a good long time.

Earlier I was cruising the internet looking for inspiration for a new WP theme for my blog so I thought that I would post a list of intersting articles that I came across. Some of the sites listed below you might know quite well, and for the others that are included, give them a try.

Heck, I even threw in Christmas gifts.
