    From WordPress developer Alex King, probably best known as the creator of many useful and popular WordPress plugins, this looks like a great idea: WordPress HelpCenter is a real-time support center for all things WordPress. We can answer simple questions about how to create categories and tags, how to use your links list, or we can help you install and/or troubleshoot themes, plugins, etc. and answer questions about your WordPress.com blog.
