So Simple : Minimal WordPress

So Simple is a minimal WordPress theme from Jason Schuller, the creator of Press75 WordPress themes. From the theme’s page:

In a flooded marketplace of overly complex WordPress themes, the So Simple theme has been created for those looking for something different. By eliminating all of the unnecessary elements found in typical WordPress themes, So Simple allows you to focus on beautiful words and nothing more. So Simple is minimalism at its best, providing a distraction-free writing and reading experience for less than a cup of coffee.

The WPCandy Quaterly

The WPCandy Quaterly is the first and only print magazine exclusively covering the WordPress world. It comes from Ryan Imel who made the popular WordPress blog WPCandy.

What I liked best about the magazine is that it shows the human side of WordPress world. Justin Tadlock shares how he learnt WordPress. Gautam Gupta shares his experience on visiting the Googleplex at the age of 15. There are tens of full page colorful pictures from Word Camps. Noel Tock and Brian Richards explain how they built their WordPress based businesses happytables and Startbox from ground up. These are certainly inspiring.

The magazine design and print is of very high quality. I felt proud and happy while holding it. The second issue is well underway. Go grab it now.

P.S: There is an iPad only WordPress Design magazine coming soon at http://wpdm.co/
