As you already know, WebResourcesDepot uses WordPress as the blogging engine (which is clearly an awesome application).

Lately, WordPress added WRD to their showcase which features websites built with the platform and uses its functions deeply.

Rating is open to anyone and thought it would be the best if the readers who experiences WRD regularly rate us too.

Besides that, WordPress Showcase is a great place to find inspiration on WP-built websites which are categorized well.

Thanks so much in advance for your support and being an awesome reader with your comments, tweets, suggestions and everything.

Icons are great design resources which help improving the interfaces we create as they can define "what words may not".

The talented team at Iconshock, a professional icon design company, will be creating small (~5 items) but focused icon sets exclusively for WebResourcesDepot readers every month.

And, to decide which icon set to be created first, the best idea is: asking WRD readers to choose it.

Update: The poll is closed on 16 June 2009 and with a major difference, it seems that our first icon set will be e -commerce icons.

First of all, thanks for following WRD & contributing to it with your comments, suggestions & support.

Its been 13 months since WRD is online & it already grew so much. There are:

• 680+ resources published
• 10,000+ feed subscribers
• 500,000+ pageviews per month

I’m very happy to see that WRD works well for anyone interested in design-development & it is a place to discover new stuff.

You can now follow /WRD (me) at Twitter & simply get more resources.

What will I be tweeting about?

• Extra resources that are not published at WebResourcesDepot (mostly).
• I’m working with a small team to build few exciting projects. We use jQuery a lot & picky with UIs. Maybe tricks on these (sometimes).
• I moved from Washington DC to Istanbul. This city is very exciting & I can tweet about it too (maybe).

To keep it short, you can click here to follow me at Twitter : ).

As you see the design of WebResourcesDepot has totally changed.

I designed this new theme believing that WebResourcesDepot needed to have an unique look (the old theme was Illacrimo theme from DesignDisease with some updates and thanks to them again) as it gets more popular everyday with 700+ RSS subscribers, 2500+ visitors and 5000+ pageviews per day.

It is much brighter right now and there is a seperation between primary elements (like categories) and 2nd ones (like search bar, rss link) that will make browsing easier.

It is also slightly shiny but not at the disturbing level (I hope).

And, since a month, WebResourcesDepot has a new owner ( me I’m a web developer and designer for a long time. After few corporate experiences I’ve been freelancing for the last 5 years and have few web projects of my own which I’ll be sharing with WRD readers.) generating the content and I wanted to share this with the new design.

Keep following WebResourcesDepot as I already have many great resources in my bookmarks to share and please continue suggesting the great resources you know.

And.. Did you like the new look? (There are still small things to polish which I’m working on).

I’m very excited to see that there are more readers & RSS subscribers everyday who follow WebResourcesDepot.

BTW , I’m a web developer living in Washington DC who likes to see & inspire from the nice codes, designs or tips that everybody creates.

Like every person in a creative industry, I used to try creating everything myself. But to save time for creating more, ready to use & inspiring resources are of great value.

Probably, you have very nice web resources in your bookmarks as well. If you’d like to share them with the growing readers of WebResourcesDepot, enjoy the Suggest Resource link in the top menu.
