WordPress Community News
During the last couples of days I’ve seen some pretty neat stuff coming from different blogs throughout the WordPress Community. The WordPress Community is a pretty big place. A while back, I read 0.8% of the Internet is powered by WordPress. Woah! Now, 0.8% may not seem a lot, but think about it, at least a couple hundred sites are created a day.
Anyway, I’ll be going through some cool WordPress related stuff you should check out!
Nyssa J. Brown’s Xpressions Emoticon Pack
Nyssa J. Brown, being the sweet designer she is, has created a free emoticon (smiley) pack for WordPress. They come in four different colors: yellow, blue, green, and gray. They’re definitely a change from the emotions that come with WordPress! So if you’re looking for some cool, free emoticons for your blog, check these out!
WPDesigner.com: New Design
After a good few weeks of designing and coding, Small Potato has released WPDesigner v8.0! The design got a bit more compact, focusing more on the content itself. With the new site design, Small Potato has also designed himself a logo! It’s definitely something worth taking at least a peak at.
PSDTuts.com: New Design
PSDTuts has also recently redesigned their Photoshop tutorial blog. The new design is a decent updated from the previous one. It’s a lot lighter (color wise), less cluttered, and focuses more on the content. Make sure to check it out!
KonvictedARTS.com: New Design
A good friend of mine, Suthan Sangaralingham has just redesigned his blog and portfolio, now using WordPress! He’s done a great job designing the site. In his upcoming posts, he’ll be talking about design and technology related topics. And look at that! WPCandy has been featured in their weekly features!

Thanks for the mention, Michael.
And it seems everyone is redesigning at the moment! They all look good, though KonvictedART’s colour scheme is quite unique and tasty!

Thanks!
