Over the past couple of weeks I have been working on
ThinkGaming. It is now running 100% on Wordpress! Instead of using a Wordpress template and trying to edit it to how I would like it, I actually took ThinkGaming’s original layout and made it fit into Wordpress. This took some time, but I think it looks great! So what have I made this change to Wordpress? Well ThinkGaming is more based on news than content. I would say there are only 5 reviews a month on the site, but each day there is daily news. I wanted something where users could easily comment on news and which also had good SEO and RSS integration. So my answer was Wordpress. Also Wordpress has a ton of addons and it is very easy to find information on problems you are having. In my
Goals for 2007 post I said that I really wanted to get ThinkGaming going and I think this is a step in that direction. Check out
ThinkGaming and let me know what you think.
Looks pretty good to me, nicely integrated. Best of luck with ThinkGaming!
Nice job, what was it running before?
the design is so 90’s anyway it would have been better to redesign.

It was running a custom CMS where a basically had to write all the pages in html and it would direct users to the page…the same one is used on ThinkComputers.
Ahh cool.
That is awesome Bob. I’m impressed you could keep the same exact design of Think Gaming and port it to wordpress. Good Luck with the site.
