Glorious Football blog
In my last post I mentioned a new site I had been working on. The site is GloriousFootball.com.
The site is a football news blog, with articles mainly to do with football transfers.
There’s over a staggering 10,200 articles, which came from SublimeFootball.com (which I used to own) and FootballTransfers.info.
The site runs on Wordpress, which I must say makes it a joy to work on, especially when compared to the Sublime Football script I used to use.
The main problem after converting the MySQL database to match Wordpress’, was finding a theme.
At first, I was very interested in the Revolution Sports theme, however, the fact that it wasn’t unique and you couldn’t remove the links, I soon changed my mind.
Luckily, after begining to think I’d never find a good unique theme at a reasonable price, one came along. I had to tweak it here and there, plus I added the players in the header, but overall I’m very happy with it.
Something I delved into, which I really should have done ages ago, is plugins. I installed on Glorious Football as well as most of my other blogs: ‘All in One SEO Pack’, ‘Google XML Sitemaps’ and ‘WordPress Related Posts’.
Something I noticed missing from the theme was tags. Seems to fix it, all I needed to do was add a little bit of code in theme, which I did.
So Glorious Football is looking good - now I just need to decide on which direction to take it.
