WordPress Plugins Recommended For All Blogs

Posted on June 20th, 2008 in Web Development by WebGuru

WordPress Plugins add great features and functionality to your blog. There are hundreds of great plugins and over 2000 all together, with even more in development. I’d like to go over a few recommended plugins I think every blog should have. We use these plugins on our site and have had great success with them. Most of these WordPress plugins can be downloaded from WordPress - Extend - Plugins.

Integrating Your Site with a WordPress Theme

Posted on May 15th, 2008 in Web Development by WebGuru

Last time I told you about themes and how great they were for branding, as well as being easy to get and install. But what if you already have a web site? Or you’ve already got some web pages up and you like using the program you created them in? In our case, we had already created a full web site when we installed WordPress, we didn’t want to lose all the work done on the other pages, and copying the content into WordPress pages just doesn’t match what can be done with a program like Dreamweaver. Add to that the problems inherent in the WordPress editor, we decided there was going to be two parts to the site: the static pages made from Dreamweaver, and the rest from WordPress.

Now all that is fine, but what about branding? You’ve got the design from Dreamweaver, and the design from the WordPress theme you installed. So, since we wanted to change the design of our web site anyway, we decided to integrate the WordPress theme into our static pages from Dreamweaver.

Now that you’ve got your blog(s), one of the first things to do is called branding. Branding is basically the idea of making your site look unique so that people know they are at your site and associate your theme’s colors and logo with your site. Choose your colors, pick a theme, design a logo (or not), it’s all up to you and what you like. There’s really only so much you can do with blogs like Blogger and BlogLines, and in our case they are mainly just supporting blogs to draw traffic to our site. Our focus here is on WordPress. WordPress Themes are easy to find and install and there are plenty of great resources with tons of themes.
