I decided to add a blog to my website, where I can post articles on technology news, and also my company news, so I installed Wordpress. I've written tech news articles for a few well known websites before, so I should easily be able to keep the blog going with news. I wanted to make the Wordpress and existing site as seamless as possible, so I've taken the WP-Framework template (blank template), and styled it up to fit with my existing site. I'm going to be adding a few more features to wordpress later today. I would love to hear your honest opinions on the work I've done so far.

Nicely integrated, but get rid of those ghastly scan lines!

If you really must use them, make them 25 times more subtle

Thanks. Were you viewing on a mobile or desktop browser? I'm asking because I have a mobile version and app (for wordpress) waiting to be finished. I know the lines look like crap on mobiles, but I thought they looked OK on desktop browsers.

Changed the backgrounds. Not sure about the new style, so I'm gonna have a play till I get it right.

I was on my iMac - it's much cleaner without the scan lines.

Thanks again for the heads up. I'm glad you looked, because they looked OK on my PC, and I wouldn't have known they looked so crap

I've been titivating the wordpress end of the site, and have created a new home page for the news blog. If anyone wants to have a look and give their honest opinions, it would be very much appreciated. This is my first stab at creating a wordpress layout and template, so there's bound to be one or two problems.

 

Cheers,
