WPCandy

As you might know, Weblog Tools Collection just started their WordPress Plugin Competition 2.5.

The WordPress Plugin Competition is in it’s third incarnation targeting the 2.5 release of WordPress.
Last year the contest generated some great plugins like Who Sees Ads, WordPress Automatic Upgrade, MyDashboard, and the grand prize winner, OneClick.

Now that it’s happening again this year, the WPCandy team thought about entering the competition, winning the prize and giving it to our readers!

The deadline is in two months, giving us enough time to create a plugin or two, and enter it into the competition. If you have a plugin idea and would like to enter it into the competition but don’t know how to develop it, leave a comment and we’ll vote on the best ones.

If your plugin gets chosen, we’ll give you credit inside the code and with a post here linking back to your blog. Remember though, your idea can’t be something that already exist! It has to be totally new and of course, it’s going to be GPL.

In the next few weeks, I’ll post another update covering which plugin(s) we’ll be entering in the competition.

How do you get a piece of a pie which lots of people are after? You’ve got to fight for it! Sometimes though, a little bit of madness goes a long way too.

Well, that’s what’s happened over at Alpha Blog Designs. We’ve gone nuts!!

Over the next few of weeks, we’re going to be proving to the WordPress blogging community, the awesome benefit of having talented designers, who are, quite literally, mad!

The $5 Themes Club is a themes club where you get unlimited downloads of at least 12 WordPress themes a year (guaranteed). And the best part about it is, well, that it’s only $5 a year (with no hidden fees). These aren’t just any regular themes either. With the themes club, you get more than what you pay for. “I don’t release any theme that I wouldn’t personally use. Check out the themes for yourself”, says Small Potato. Want a free account to the themes club? Continue reading to get one!

Depending on where you live, it’s probably pretty cold during this time of year. Thanks to WordPress, you can now proudly walk the streets with a hip WordPress hoodie. They’re made by American Apparel, so you can ensure good quality, softness, comfort and most importantly, warmness.

WordPress hoodies are now available for purchase over at the WordPress shop for $32. But why buy one when you can win one right here on WPCandy?

Getting back on track with our posts, first up, we have our winner for our Holiday Contest. And we’re happy to announce Jordan is our winner! As stated in our original post, Jordan has won a copy of Adii’s Premium News Theme and a set of 4 Hell Yeah Dude coasters. Congratulations Jordan!

To everyone else who participated, I hope you had fun with this contest and had a great time during the holidays, I certainly did (even though I’ve spent more than half my holiday break working on the new WPCandy).

So the holidays are coming up and we want to give you a present (or two). You’re probably thinking, “Wait, what happened to the last contest? No winner was announced!”. I take all the blame for that and I’m truly sorry for any inconveniences. When I went to go choose the winner, the winners’ site was down so I just did nothing (lame, I know).

Anyways, Hell Yeah Dude recently opened up a store for their sweet coasters and we’re going to be giving away a set of 4 coasters! We’re also going to be giving away the Premium News Theme we still have saved up.
