Another solid and very useful site to bring to you today! Michael Castilla over at WPCandy was kind enough to let us get a sneak peek at his new logo, look for a redesign of his site coming up very soon. So if you are even remotely interested in WordPress, or you need some new idea’s then head on over and they would be glad to show you!

Here is what they had to say:

WPCandy is a blog and community run by WordPress lovers and gurus. We write about recent community news, the latest and coolest plugins, the hottest themes, and showcase sexy WordPress-powered sites. You’ll also see an occasional contest and interview, because we love our visitors.

With WPCandy v3 rolling around the corner, we hope to be the one stop place for everything WordPress.

Grooveshark is the an online music community that allows users to download mp3s and receive compensation for sharing songs in a legal network. Grooveshark aims to be the first legal alternative to illegal networks that matches and exceeds the experience provided by illegal networks through the addition of music discovery, social networking, and free-full length streaming.

And well getting paid for sharing music sounds pretty awesome to me. And finding music off other users that I forgot about is also pretty awesome.

And believe it or not, they didn’t pay us to review their site. We just really love it!

At a little more than two months old, I Love Typography, has developed a cult following of over 5,000 subscribers, and confirmed the fact that quality content and design yield monstrous results. Created and written by John Boardley, a designer/typoholic based in Japan, I Love Typography is a surprisingly phenomenal site suited for anyone, whether you’ve only dipped your toe in design, or enjoy analyzing the typography on your potato chip bag. I.L.T. is one of our favourite sites and we love it!

For those of you who that payed attention to TechCrunch 20 40, mint needs no introduction. mint walked away with the $50,000 prize and a boat load of publicity producing enough traffic to make their servers beg for mercy. With everything back up and running, I signed up for an account and gave it a test run. Despite all the buzz and hype I have to say I’m still very impressed.

You’re away from your office or at a meeting. You need to crop an image for a presentation, or your exclusive blog post that Arrington will envy. All you have is a simple computer, and nowhere near enough time or patience to install a Photoshop trial. What do you do?

You could play around in MS Paint, hoping that your image is within a few hundred pixels of size as to what you were after.

Or, you could visit Snipshot, the only free, simple, online, cropping tool I’ve ever seen that allows you to perform precise resizing.

From a creative that’s been stuck in his client’s office many times with an image editing app nowhere in sight, Snipshot has been godsend on many occasions.

Add this goody to your bookmarks for the time’s you’re stuck with your friend or client’s crappy computer and have a naked blog post begging for an image.
