Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog

Reading Design

I built this site on the predecessor to the Notes Blog Core theme in under 24 hours, at 24 Hour Business Camp in February 2009. Börja Blogga (translates to “start blogging” or “get started blogging”) is a guide to blogging in Swedish, targeting both beginners and intermediates within the medium.

Key Features

Börja Blogga is built entirely on WordPress.

  • Big strong logo and a pretty favicon to go with it.
  • Four main categories are the heart of the site.
  • Pages are used for more static guides and resources.
  • Meant to be read, so the content is in focus.
  • Strong sidebar for promotions.

Visit Börja Blogga here! It is one of my own projects still.

I did the complete redesign of the Blog Herald back in August 2008, and then I refreshed it with featured stories and resource pages for more static content in Spring 2009.

Case study coming soon!
