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.

PS---not so easy to find the NW USA group, though, and that does not facilitate making connections which is a lot of what we are about. That old map helped, I think. I'll keep exploring, but, well, this could be detrimental in some ways. I think the regional connections are very important...

Blessings---you folks really are quite amazing. After my Feb surgery, I'm going to try change the Oregon Meetup profile into a group and hope for that to be linked to the map, too. Emily W. has been helping me figure that out.....

Hi again. I see the comment wall, but I don't see a box for someone to use to leave me a comment. Or maybe I'm missing something?

Any cnance that with all these great changes, Ning might finally fix the links in our Nutshell updates? Everyday, twice a day, there are these great posts there. Sometimes I can come here and find them in the forum. Sometimes not. I CAN still come in through the bottom of the page comments, but then I have to roam around.....

Oh---I think I'm with Trudy. At the verrrrrry bottom of my page are comments and something that says I can comment on my own comments, but I don't quite see how a visitor comments.....Plus, well, I'd rather comments be more accessible. Maybe I can adjust that individually. Haven't explored that yet......

Hooray, I changed my header. Boohoo, couldn't seem to click appropriately to change background color or other stuff. I think maybe I'm not sure of terminology. But tomorrow, I will read the tutorial more closely. My Mom taught us well: "when all else fails, read the directions!"......
