Over 50,000 new blogs are started everyday. Welcome to ours. We think you'll find it pretty useful. :-)

Our New Company Website – 100% Wordpress

Posted: June 11, 2008 by Nate Whitehill Filed Under: Blog, WordPress

UBD has a new look – and it has been developed entirely within Wordpress!

Why Wordpress?

Wordpress is not just our favorite blogging platform — it is also a powerful content management system (CMS). This means that Wordpress has the ability to manage much more than just “blog” content. Wordpress can also behave as a corporate website, e-commerce solution, portfolio, and even discussion forum.

Over 100,000 new blogs are being created each day on every topic and niche imaginable. In the coming months, we will be releasing several premium Wordpress plugins, tools and themes that will help YOU use your blog more effectively.

Our First Wordpress Plugin – This Friday

This Friday (June 13th), we will be releasing our first Wordpress plugin co-developed with the renowned Wordpress developer, Alex King. Alex is one of the original contributing developers to Wordpress and has authored many popular Wordpress plugins, including ShareThis, Twitter Tools, and Popularity Contest.

Meet Our New Partners

We are proud to announce several new partners, including Social Spark, Entrecard and Get It In Writing. Check out our Partners page to learn more.

We will keep this post short and sweet, but feel free to look around our new website and let us know what you think. If you have questions about what you can do with UBD and Wordpress, let us know in the comments.

    Thanks for the comments, guys. That is exactly what we were going for – professional, simple, and slick. It is becoming more clear that Wordpress serves as a great platform for so many different types of sites – not just blogs. There is still a lot of untapped potential in what one can do with Wordpress. Our goal is innovate how and for what purposes individuals and small businesses can use it for.

    I’m with Josh. This design looks a lot more professional than your previous one. Definitely a step in the right direction.

    ooohhh… I’ve been staring at the fine details of the new website for some time now. It’s truly amazing and is officially my fav. Wordpress website.

    Excellent job!

    Nate, I’ve got a suggestion for you. I think it would be great and worthwhile if you guys provide blog design tutorials and resources on your blog. I’m sure that would tremendously improve your business. Thats just a thought

    Not gonna lie, I like it a lot!

  13. Alex Shalman said on June 12th, 2008 at 4:25 pm

    Really like the comments!

  14. Nate Whitehill said on June 12th, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    @ Rajab – that is a really great idea, and coincidentally enough, it is actually something we have been working on for the past few weeks. We will have our official Wordpress Tutorials section completed within the next two weeks.

    @ Everyone else – thanks for the positive comments. :)

    Where did the pre-made blog themes disappear to? :-(

  16. DomainEngineer said on June 21st, 2008 at 9:54 pm

    This is a great website … just truly amazing people creating “unique blogs”. The blog list on the site is awesome…………very impressive.

    I also can not find the pre-made themes….does any one know where they are?

    Thank you.

  17. Nate Whitehill said on June 27th, 2008 at 2:08 am

    @Domain Engineer- we will be releasing new pre-made Wordpress themes in the first week of July.
