Our New Company Website - 100% Wordpress

UBD has a new look - and it has been developed entirely within Wordpress!

Why Wordpress?

Wordpress is not just our favorite blogging platform — it is also a powerful content management system (CMS). This means that Wordpress has the ability to manage much more than just “blog” content. Wordpress can also behave as a corporate website, e-commerce solution, portfolio, and even discussion forum.

Over 100,000 new blogs are being created each day on every topic and niche imaginable. In the coming months, we will be releasing several premium Wordpress plugins, tools and themes that will help YOU use your blog more effectively.

Our First Wordpress Plugin - This Friday

This Friday (June 13th), we will be releasing our first Wordpress plugin co-developed with the renowned Wordpress developer, Alex King. Alex is one of the original contributing developers to Wordpress and has authored many popular Wordpress plugins, including ShareThis, Twitter Tools, and Popularity Contest.

Meet Our New Partners

We are proud to announce several new partners, including Social Spark, Entrecard and Get It In Writing. Check out our Partners page to learn more.

We will keep this post short and sweet, but feel free to look around our new website and let us know what you think. If you have questions about what you can do with UBD and Wordpress, let us know in the comments.

New Blog Design For UBD’s Lead Designer, Matt Blancarte

I am happy to announce that UBD’s Lead Designer and Chief Operating Officer, Matt Blancarte, has officially rolled out a new design for his personal blog, Matt Blancarte dot Com.

Matt has been blogging since July of 2007, and he has been working with UBD since its August 2007 inception. Matt’s blog focuses mostly on design, business, and personal development. He just published a detailed post on the thought process and features that went into his new redesign.

In addition to being a blogger, UBD’s lead designer and a professional nice guy, Matt will be speaking on the “Blog Design panel” this year at IZEA Fest, a conference for bloggers and new media enthusiasts. IZEA Fest is being held September 11-13, 2008 in Orlando, Florida. In addition to speaking, UBD will also be exhibiting at the event.

Head on over to Matt’s blog and let him know what you think of his new design. Congratulations on the new redesign, Matt!
