Sneak Peek: VaynerMedia Blog 2.0

We are very happy to announce that the second iteration of our blog will be launched within the next few days! In this facelift, we’ve tightened up our user-interface, fixed general usability concerns and packed it with several new features that should make your experience on our blog much more enjoyable.

Categories (Color-Coded)

All of us here come from different backgrounds, armed with different skills and experiences. And so do our readers! That’s why we’ve attached highly-visible color-coded category tags to each our blog posts. This should help users skim through content and find interesting topics faster. If you don’t feel like browsing, we’ve also included a search bar!

Bigger Photos and Text

We’ve also included bigger photos for faster skimming and quicker topic recognition. Keeping with that theme, we’ve also increased the font-size and line-height within each article to help reduce eye fatigue on those longer reads.

Beefed-up Sidebar & Comments Section

We’ve ditched our static sidebar for one that displays useful and relevant content for our users. For example, we’ve capitalized on some of WordPress’s built-in plug-ins by including a “Related Posts” and “Most Commented On” section. Additionally, we’ve rebuilt our comments section using Disqus, giving users the ability to “Like” comments, among other features.

Authors

There will also be an ‘About the Author’ section in the sidebar and at the end of each post. By doing this, we hope to bring as much transparency and accountability to each of our contributors. It could also help put a name to a face when we meet each other!

In Conclusion

We’d love to hear your feedback on the changes! Is there anything you think we’ve missed or you’d like to see? Expect to see these changes to go live very soon! Drop a comment below.
