Parentree - New look

Today, we launched a new look for Parentree.

Why did we change?

To make the site easier to interact with. Our community thrives through parent to parent interaction and the new look makes it easier for you to find and share information.

Here are some significant changes

1. Our front page shows the latest activity in each of our 3 major sections - Journals, Groups and Reviews. Since comments are also part of the dialogue, they are also shown in the Journals section.

2. The Groups page now shows all the discussions across the site. This makes it easier for users to see and comment on discussions across the site. Of course, if you are interested only in particular groups, you will find them listed on the left sidebar of the Groups page and you can click through to them.

3. We have gone to a 3 column layout on most pages. Slim left and right columns flank a wide middle column. The middle column carries the primary content of a page while the left and right carry other information you maybe interested in.

4. My Page has now become a slimmer more relevant cockpit. It shows your inbox messages, what your friends have been up to, new responses in discussions you have participated in etc., all in one page.

5. We have taken our article collections and compacted them along with some of our most popular content, to the sidebars on various pages.

6. We have made Buzz slimmer and more relevant to what has been popular over the last 7 days. And now we are showing all types of content - journals, groups and reviews on the same Buzz page.

There are many more changes on the site, which we are sure you will discover.
