My life would not function quite so well without the use of the following apps and services. I only list what I use or what I would use if I had the need.
WordPress Themes & Plugins
I constantly find myself going back to ThemeForest – it is backed by community members who submit their own themes. The plus is that there are constantly new themes. Support of each theme is down to the person who sells the theme, my experience has always been good, but could potentially become problematic relying on an individual for questions. The prices are really good too and they also provide themes for other platforms such as Tumblr.

WooThemes is where I bought my first ever WordPress Theme. They are growing from strength to strength and all their themes come with superb support. Like ThemeForest, they have moved themselves forward and providing other solutions for various platforms.

A good selection and variety of WordPress Themes covering Job Board, Answers, Ecommerce, Publishing and Portfolio themes. There are handful of free themes too.

A great tool for shortening and tracking your urls.

I got so sick of iStockPhoto and seeing so many websites with the same images. Yuck. Graphic River doesn’t have the same quantity of stock, but the originality and quality is there. Plus it’s not just graphics. There are templates designs too – think publishing and presentations. Very handy indeed.

Online Storage
Perfect for backing up your documents. Just put everything into a special folder on your computer and Dropbox will do the rest. You can even access it remotely from your iPhone

Microblogging
I use both Yammer and SocialCast for internal and private use of microblogging. Both are great tools, though my current preference goes towards SocialCast.

Printing
I absolutely love Moo. Been using them since they started for all sorts. Easy to use, quality delivery. If you have images to use then there is no need for a designer which makes it super affordable.
