If you've visited any of the top, www.maneno.org pages then you've probably seen that something is a bit different in the top-center brown area. What was just two rather plain main links before is now a number of options.
All Articles is still there if you want to view everything that has been written on the platform. By Country is still there as well, but it's been made more "friendly". The layout is now four columns and instead of writing the rather overly-truncated E. Guinea, we now have Equatorial Guinea in there. The goal was to invite people in to this area a bit more and integrate it in with the design direction that we've been taking as of late.
Two new items have appeared up there as well. The first is a link to Focus pages under By Focus. Remember the page we created for Maker Faire Africa? Well, now there is direct access to it as well as others that we plan to have in the future. The other up there is the Search. As we've finally rolled out a proper internal search for the platform, we thought it was about time to integrate it on the top level areas for ease of use.
Another small item is that the link for the RSS feed has been embedded in to the graphic to make it a more integrated piece of the display as opposed to an icon that was just hanging there.
All of this is just one more thing we're doing to provide a cohesive and integrated platform that promotes the content of the authors who write here.
Thanks for the new features!!! I am already enjoying them thanks to my not-IE6-browser ;)
