Custom blog designed to highlight products sold through an existing all-natural beauty products store

The Sacred Glo blog needed to be added to supplement and complement the Sacred Glo online store. Using the logo elements and colors from the main site, I added the Sacred Glo blog with another customized Revolution theme – Revolution Lifestyle.
With this being a product-related blog, I wanted to highlight the product so that the content wouldn’t become a distraction. When the blog was initially set up, there weren’t any posts written for it so the “featured categories” were basically posts that described the Sacred Glo lotion candle in various scents. Once there was some actual content on the blog, I was able to highlight the posts too but the Featured Content Gallery serves as a reminder that Sacred Glo is a product, not just a blog.
The video on the main page explains these unique candles and rather than using the Google AdSense features that are built in to the Revolution themes, I replaced those with some custom graphics. Since the blog was installed, we’ve added a Press/Media page and a newsletter sign up. And rather than use the typical green color scheme that other eco-friendly product blogs use, we threw in some orange to liven the pages up.
