The Linkys – 17 April 2009 edition

Friday again! The perfect day to introduce THE LINKY AWARDS, a showcase of the most helpful, inspiring and all-round amusing Websites I’ve visitied in the past week. This week we’re focusing on Mac applications, WordPress, Daddy-blogging and good business advice.

  • The ‘Information Overlord Award‘. This week’s award for the site that is ridiculously chocked full of information goes to the WordPress Codex. If you’re into WordPress there’s no better place to start finding help. It blows me away that almost every WP problem I’ve ever had has been answered by the Codex.
  • The ‘Handy-dandy WordPress Blog Award‘. If the Codex doesn’t help you, there are about a million blogs that will. I tried WPCandy. This sidebar article is particularly useful.
  • The ‘Nice-guy Award‘. A guy who knows a lot about stretching the limits of WordPress is Chris Cagle. If you’re planning a membership site or directory Chris has a great round-up of the tools you’ll need. He’s a nice guy too.
  • For the Mac fans, I’ve got 3 new pieces of software to try out. These don’t get awards, yet: Postbox (an advanced email client), Echodio, which may just be the tool to get my iPod working again, and Grand Total, yet another billing app for Macs (I haven’t tried this one yet but it does have customizable templates which is a plus).
  • My ‘Website Of The Week Award‘ has to go to Blueprint Design Studio. If ever there was a design that was clean and fun at the same time, this is it.
  • The ‘New Blog Of The Week Award‘ goes to Blogger Dad. This is one funny parenting blog.
  • If you’re keen to learn jQuery, this weeks ‘Learning Resource Award‘ goes to Themeforest’s jQuery for Absolute Beginners series. I’ve just finished it and I’m about 1000% more confident with the framework than I was 2 weeks ago.
  • And the big daddy of them all, the prestigous ‘Blog Post Of The Week Award‘ goes to Collis Ta’eed for ‘So You Want to Start a Startup? 5 Places to Start‘.

Did I miss anything important?
