TuDiabetes redesign is LIVE!
Dear members of the TuDiabetes family,
We are finally sporting our new look and feel on TuDiabetes. Here's a list of some of the things that changed:
- The top navigation has been simplified. We reduced the number of options within each category, removed some categories (such as "Resources", which really was a big mish-mash of things) and brought back the Events category, given the popularity of this section on the site and the fact that we will be hosting monthly video-chat events on the community.
- We made the secondary navigation (previously in the form of blue buttons on the top left of the page) a bit more self-evident, to help guide the way for people arriving to the community for the first time (more than 50% of the people that come to the site are first-timers). Each of the eight resource pages linked from there serves as a hub consisting of the top content about the topic it covers (type 1, type 2, etc.) within the community plus a few additional links about the topic we believe to be worth your time.
- The rotating banner we used to have at the top of the middle column is now at the top of the left column.
- We have moved a few other things around: the popular content has been moved up to the left column, just below the Members box; all the items that used to be listed under "About Us" in the top navigation (such Help, New Member Guide, Our Values, etc.) are now accessible within the footer.
- Also, we changed the color palette of nearly all elements on the site, trying to offer you a web site that is easier on the eye and easier to read.
All decisions to move things around, what to feature more (or less), which sub-categories to include within each navigation category (where applicable), have been rooted on data of site usage for the past year.
A couple of other things:
- The TuDiabetes logo has changed. The new version is cleaner and feels fresher (we hope you will agree!) :)
- We have also tried to make the connection between TuDiabetes and Diabetes Hands Foundation (the nonprofit responsible for the community) more obvious.
As announced at the beginning of the year the personal profile pages have now been reset to match the same look and feel of the home page. Please follow the instructions on this tutorial if you want to experiment with giving your profile page a personal touch.
If you have any questions or if you are seeing anything abnormal (things that do not looking OK on your browser), please report the issue by replying to this topic or use the "Contact Us" form at the footer. Where possible, please include a screenshot of the issue you are experiencing.

Looks fabulous. Congrats to all on a job well done.
Noticed two things to look at.
When clicking on Diabetes Hands Foundation and dhf in the header I expected to link to here: http://diabeteshandsfoundation.org/, not here: http://www.tudiabetes.org/.
Also when I clicked on the Control Your Diabetes link under Resources on the homepage all the information there was about Type 1 diabetes. Wish that I could find links to info for Type 2, LADA, gestational diabetes, and MODY there as well.

Hi Corinna,
We're looking into changing that link in the header to go to the DHF website. It's not the way Ning normally sets up their sites, so it's taking some research. Thanks for the feedback!

Could you split the header into two graphics? Link the blue band at the bottom to the DHF home page and the illustration at the top to the TuDiabetes home page?

This discussion has a link at the bottom for a page 2 as well as a 'next', both dead as there is no page 2. A Ning glitch?

Jrtpup, it looks like that link IS to page 2 of the comments. You can go back to page 1 and then forward to 2 if you like! :)

if you're on page 2, can you click "previous" or click back to page 1? does this happen on other multi-page discussions? btw, it worked fine with me I use Firefox and Windows Vista
