We just wrapped up the finishing touches on AdMavericks.com – the blog written by Des Moines advertising agency Lessing-Flynn. We had a few goals for this project but mainly we wanted to clean up the site to focus on readability and migrate from WordPress.com to WordPress.org (self-hosted version).
The new site runs on a customized version of the Thesis WordPress theme.

WordPress Project Goals
- Migrate from WordPress.com to the self-hosted WordPress.org
- Clean up the layout, reduce clutter, and increase readability
- Add social sharing tools to help spread content
- Social Media widgetry
- Updated Header
- More Lessing-Flynn Branding / Linkage
- Brand new Multi-Authors Widget Plugin
- Make it fast
