businesses and brands. Use these examples for creative ideas and inspiration

News
and Entertainment Blogs
MTV Newsroom. MTV truly puts WordPress
to the test with its MTV Newsroom blog. This is a high-traffic site with
a wide variety of content, including text, audio, and video. It’s updated
frequently and uses a simple, traditional 3-column blog design.
Forbes Blogs. Forbes uses WordPress to power all of its
blogs, and there are a lot of them. What makes the Forbes blogs stand out is
how well the various blogs are integrated on the back-end. Despite its many
online properties, Forbes is able to keep relevant content and links in front of
visitors at all times.
AllThingsD. AllThingsD is one of the most popular technology news blogs around with continually breaking
news content and great editorial posts. Scroll through the home page and see
how much content is highlighted without cluttering the user experience. Writers
are also highlighted, syndicated content from other sites gets its own spot,
and ads are separated from the main content.
It’s a great example of a news blog home page that works.
SearchEngineLand. SearchEngineLand is a great example of a blog that
offers both free and premium content. Basic content is free and paid members
can access premium content in SearchEngineLand’s Pro section. The site also
does a great job of drawing attention to featured content in a highlighted bar
beneath the top navigation menu items.
PlayStation Blog. The PlayStation Blog is a perfect example of how to present
a lot of visual stimuli without overwhelming your audience. Visit a single post
page and take a look at how unique the navigation bars and menus are
configured. The comments are also visually appealing; this is an area of a blog
that is often forgotten in the design process.
Spotify. Spotify is a cool way to listen to the music
you love, and the Spotify website is just as cool. It’s built on
WordPress and it offers some unique features to check out. For example, the
status ticker that updates Spotify members on content related to its streaming
music service is excellent. In addition, the use of design, video, and two
top-level navigation bars make it very easy to navigate the site.
Business
and Education Blogs
Carnival Cruise
Lines. The Carnival News blog is powered by WordPress, and it’s
a great example of excellent design and navigation. Scroll through the home
page and review the top navigation, secondary navigation, sidebar, and the
footer. The content and links are placed strategically and everything works
well from a navigational and aesthetic perspective. Blog articles include
a variety of multi-media content such as videos, slideshows, and more. Carnival
is using a variety of the features available through WordPress to create a
great user experience.

Firefox to browse this article? Did you know that Mozilla uses WordPress to
