After a few days of work, we launched our new News section on the GREY WOLF DESIGN web site. After several issues arose with the last theme we were using in Word Press and jumping over an using an custom Blogger template as an interim solution, we are finally back on Word Press.
The design concept was for a very simple and very clean design for the news section. Featuring an extremely long front page listing all the News articles and a very clean article page. Over the past few month we had been experimenting with some SEO enhancing techniques we had seen around the net and in several articles. The new section incorporates many of these enhancements.
Again rather than having to go through the Word Press admin panel to post articles, I have set it up to go through Microsoft Live Writer. The first serious test was the complete population of the new section with all the post from various sources. Live Writer enabled me to complete this task in 1/4th the time it would have taken using just the admin panel.
We are working with the hosting company to address an issue with load time on the Word Press section. I also have an backlog of news & information postings to work through over the next few weeks. After that all will be back on course again and in good shape. The only plug-in I added was the Share Anywhere one and I added that script after every article to make it easy for visitors to save and share articles with ease. I will be replacing the “share” image so that it better fit the visual design theme of the site and News section soon as well.
