Winnipeg’s Real Estate Blog
Posted in: Projects, Websites by Paul McEwan on January 25, 2010
The Client: Bo Kauffmann (bokauffmann.com)
Project Description: Combine 2 Type-pad blogs into one self hosted Wordpress blog. Give it a clean new look and feel. The new site had to have all content moved over, be able to accept remote third party video publishing, have a listing showcase in the side bar, a listings page and a lot of social networking.
Client Testimonial: “This turned out to be a VERY nice site.”
The solution for this website was a customized Wordpress Thesis Theme. We dove into the Functions and added a header, moved the navigation bar, gave it background images and altered the site width among many other things.
We were able to add all sorts of options including a default video in the side bar that can actually be changed within each post or page or left as the default. Because he is a MyRealPage user we were able to insert his listings directly into a page (with it’s own CSS) which will auto update as per the usual MyRealPage listing engine. The same goes for the Feature Listing sidebar widget. It came from the back office of his MyRealpage website and styled to match the site.
Some of the plugins include the ability to choose and serve images from his Picasa Account instead of uploading images in the post or page. This means comments he makes on the images in Picasa will show when published on the website. Sexy Bookmarks for the foot of every post and we added a WibiYa tool bar at the foot of every page.

Great work, Paul! The website looks great and the listings look very nicely integrated, including the showcase.

Thanks, The listings are actually “as-is-supplied” by MyRealPage as of this comment. Still making final adjustments. But it demonstrates how easy it is to integrate.
