WP Recipes is another blog that is owned and maintained by Jean-Baptiste Jung.

This blog is dedicated to providing little tidbits of Wordpress hacks and tips. I have been a fan and reader of this blog since its conception and I have seen it grow into a very popular blog.

It’s design is simple and it’s content is simple but let’s get onto “What I Like” and “What I Don’t Like.”

What I Like:

• The cute little cat in the header.
• The buttons in the header for Twitter, Technorati, Stumbleupon and others.
• Navigation to Pages is nice and neat.
• Sidebar is clear of clutter
• The content is useful
• The content is short but sweet.

What I Don’t Like:

• The lack of categories in the sidebar or in the menu. Now, the site may not need categories since it is al about Word Press but what if I just want to read the posts that pertain to the loop, or to the footer, etc.?
• No E-mail form but at least email subscriptions are enabled.

Except for those two minor things, another great website that is another combo. Great content and great design.

Top 5 Articles I Recommend:

1. How to: Create a “send this to twitter” button
2. How to: Display your latest twitter entry on your WP blog
3. How to: Redirect users to a specific url using a 301 redirection
4. How to: Display the total number of comments on your WordPress blog
5. How to: Display the total number of trackbacks

My first real website addition is catswhocode.com which is owned and maintained by Jean-Baptiste Jung. It also happens to be the first among the “Combo” area, which is to say that the blog has both a great design AND great content.

Cats Who Code recently got a design overhaul which looks stunning.

What I Like:

• The Cats- they are just so cute! You can see his own cat on his about page, and a cartoon one in the header.
• The category labelling on the post thumbnails on the home page. I have rarely seen blogs doing this. It makes the posts seem more organized and I can tell right away if it is from a category that interests me.
• The ease of navigation-it is very easy to navigate through the categories and pages of the blog. Both are kept separate so it does not confuse the reader.
• The content is always laid out nicely.
• The content does not get boring and is always useful.

What I didn’t like:

• No e-mail form- I prefer to subscribe by email and I also prefer to have the form on the same page so I don’t have to keep clickin through pages just to sign up to the website feed.
• Email subscription not even enabled.

Other then that CatsWhoCode.com is a great website to read and subscribe to, especially if you are into Wordpress, Web Design and Blogging.
