Featured Site: WPCandy

I’ve been talking about WordPress a lot lately, as you probably all know by now WordPress is what a lot of bloggers use on the back end to publish what they have to say. There are loads of plug-ins, services and themes out there for you to try, but how do you find the best ones?

WPCandy does that and a lot more.

About the Site:

WPCandy was created by Michael Castilla on October 2007, since then it has gone through three different themes. Currently it has two main bloggers, including Michael, and lots of contributing authors. WPCandy is split up into five main categories for you to enjoy:

• Articles
• Themes
• Plug-ins
• Site
• Community

From all of these catergories you can whittle down what WordPress is all about and easily find out the key things that are going on in the vibrant community that makes WordPress what it is.

Why I Like It

I’m by no means a WordPress guru, however I do like to tinker and keep up with what is going on, I find WPCandy is a great source of not only primary information but also tertiary information through the community page so I can keep up with all of the latest developments.

Strangely enough I also go for the ads. WPCandy has some very interesting and relevent advertisers, mainly in the themes realm, who have some cool WordPress related service.

Why You’ll Like It

As I mentioned before, WPCandy offers a great collection of WordPress sites, tutorials and just cool stuff. If you want to find some awesome themes - they review them. If you want to learn how to make some design changes to your blog - they can help. If you want to find your way about WordPress -  they have some resources for that.

From WPCandy has spawned some other very cool services, such as WPCoder that will turn your PSD designs into WordPress themes if you’re looking for a individual look to your blog.

Finally, I would like to wish WPCandy a late 1st Birthday, keep up the great work guys!
