A New Look for Business Logs

The new Business Logs

Just a few days ago we updated the Business Logs website with a fresh new look by its new design team, Ia Lucero and Ali Hussain. The homepage now gives you easy access to everything you need to know about our company: our goal, portfolio, ideas, and how to contact us.

The old Business Logs

The old design was light, narrow, monochromatic, and safe. This time, we went bolder with a dark design and a splash of bright green.

The new color combination is a business-y take on our parent company colors. We’ve also embraced the brave new world of CSS3-based rounded corners, shadows, transition animations, and custom typography. jQuery is always helpful, whether you need to add a carousel plugin or align box heights.

Under the hood, we’re still proudly powered by WordPress, but use the Genesis Theme Framework on top of it to speed up the development process. Working almost entirely in the functions.php and style.css files saves lots of time and appeals to the minimalist in me. We’ll talk about this in more detail in another article.

We hope you like our work, and welcome to the new Business Logs!

WordPress Plugins for Business Blogs – Subscribe to Comments

An important part of building a business blog is the commenting feature that turns your blog posts into active, engaging, and ongoing conversations.  However, it can be challenging and time-consuming for visitors to your business blog to follow those conversations because they have to manually return to a specific post periodically to check for new comments, not knowing if they’ll find new comments when they get there or not.

WordPress Plugins for Business Blogs – Related Posts

I’m starting a new series here on BusinessLogs where I’ll write about WordPress plugins that are useful to business blogs.  The first WordPress plugin in the WordPress Plugins for Business Blogs series is the Related Posts plugin.

The Related Posts plugin can help boost the amount of time a visitor spends on your business blog and increase page views on your business blog.  It works very simply by adding a list of posts that are deemed to be related to all of the blog posts that you publish on your blog.  The list of related posts is created automatically and is based primarily on keywords, so the list isn’t always perfect.  However, it definitely works to increase page views.
