January 20th, 2011 - Fieldstone Launches New Blogging Site for George Smith

Fieldstone recently launched a blogging website for George Smith, www.georgesmithmaine.com , which offers access to all of his columns, blogs and TV shows. The site is a source for the most in-depth and timely news, information, and analysis about outdoor issues and Maine travel.

George wanted a simple site that he could manage and easily upload his own articles and photos. It was important that we clearly display his three blogs, two published columns and TV show as well as provide space for advertisers and links to his preferred social networks.

We chose to power the site with Drupal, an open source content management system. In addition to hosting www.georgesmithmaine.com, we trained George on how to use his site, provided written instructions for content loading and continue to make ourselves available for follow-up questions. After the site went live, we assisted in posting a press release to announce his new endeavor, and the site was also announced in his Kennebec Journal column – The Native Conservative.

Working with George was a breeze. He proved to be instrumental not only in the timely launch but in chalking it full of content so that readers knew instantly how to navigate the site.
