Jim DeBetta is a retail & invention expert, who mentors and coaches entrepreneurs and inventors from their initial sketches to selling their final product to major retailers. As a coach and mentor to entrepreneurs and inventors, a blog is very important to DeBetta’s enterprise. While his main site, www.jimdebetta.com, was undergoing a redesign with its original web designer, Jim turned to award-winning small & independent business coach & advocate, Donna Maria Coles Johnson, for her professional blogging opinion.
Deciding to separate Jim’s blog from his main site & have his blog located at www.thejimdebettablog.com, Donna Maria suggested he use the Thesis theme for WordPress [that is where I fit into the picture (wondering where I was going with all this?)]. Jim & Donna Maria approached me wanting a customization of Thesis with a clean look. So with Donna Maria as Jim’s consultant, we worked together to create www.thejimdebettablog.com:
Some of the customizations include:
- date in the header
- social network icons with links in the header
- navigation & search bar
- subtle drop shadow on the rotating photo area in right sidebar
- sponsor area in sidebar
- feed of most recent tweets from twitter
- subscription in sidebar
- set-up and styling of sidebar widgets
- set-up and styling of post header
- comment count bubble
- & more!
