Mark from Esses Motorsports approached us for a custom blog design for his new WordPress powered blog that spotlights his passion for cars. . . namely, Porches. First, he needed a hosting solution for his blog and signed up with our hosting division at Blogs About Hosting and then We went to work with him on collaborating on his design ideas. . .

We created a great header image that rotates different images of his own photography of cars in his collection. Mark is an amateur photographer and was excited to provide his own photography for use in his custom blog design. The images in the header rotate, giving the visitor a good taste of Mark’s preferences and passion in cars.

We also provided him with some great WordPress plugins to help with the functionalities that he needs:

  • LightBox – allowing him to insert photos in his posts and pages that you can click on to see the larger image in a popup window
  • Flash Video Player to allow him to easily embed YouTube videos in his blog posts
  • Subscribe-Me to provide his readers with different ways to subscribe to his RSS Feed
  • NextGen Photo Gallery, giving him the ability to run a functional photo gallery on his site
  • Brian’s Threaded Comments giving him a ‘threaded comments’ function making it easy for him, and his visitors, to respond to specific comments

Mark is thrilled with his new WordPress home for his auto blog, We did a fantastic job with the requirements he provided. We’d like to thank Mark for allowing us the opportunity to help him bring his new blog to life!
