So… I’ll be perfectly honest! WordPress 2.7 “Coltrane” does mean less profit for us in terms of client upgrade opportunities… but we couldn’t be happier that our clients get to have more personal control over their content and their blogs! Confused? This new version of WordPress allows for future one-click upgrading for any future version of WordPress. How about them apples?
That isn’t the only great feature about this new version though. Check out this great video from WordPress.org for more:
Blog What? Design was recently featured on Smashing Apps under ”31 Creative Examples Of Mascots To Grab Your Attention” and Web Designer Depot under ”100 Websites With Outstanding Artistic Design.” If you have come to us through one of these great websites, we would love to know!

Dejoni was an absolutely fabulous client (and woman!) to work with. Her spunk and enthusiasm throughout the project made it fun for the both of us.
Southern Fried Momma chronicles Dejoni’s life as a southern mom with two lovely children and a rather comical husband. Dejoni was looking for something that would allow her to closely connect with her readers. Her blog is outfitted with her latest Twitter tweets, a great photo album hooked up to her Flickr account, and a quality contact form.
We moved Dejoni from Blogger to her own domain name. This, coupled with her new design and fantastic content allowed Dejoni to become a sponsored Blogher advertiser!
We finished a project back in May that was our first “community service” project. I was more than happy to donate my time and complete the entire project with a colleague of mine for around 25% of the actual cost. From our portfolio:
The Common Hope Corporation approached Blog What? Design looking for an upgrade from their old, and out of date, Microsoft Frontpage design. They needed a fresh new face for their organization - a true reflection of their excellent intentions and cause.
I worked with the lovely Ellen at the CF Care Fund. Feature included a contact form and mailing list among static content pages. The fund previously had a logo developed, so we were able to work quickly off a predetermined starter color scheme.
The final product is one that breathes fresh air into an important cause. Blog What? Design was happy to donate our services for only 25% of the cost.
WordPress version 2.6 made it’s debut a month early just two days ago on WordPress.org. This latest version is called “Tyner” after a famous jazz pianist. The screen cast which details the release even has his snappy music as an accompaniment. Take a look!
