After what seems like months of work, we've finally implemented our web site redesign. (If you've been following this space, you'll know it seems like months because it was: 8 of them since the start of our information architecture review. So, to those of you who've been waiting with bated breath, our apologies. Hopefully the faster-loading site makes it up to you.)

While the new look has thrown off a few of us here at NTEN HQ -- years of habituation to click the same spot to go the the NTC pages, undone! -- we hope it will make the process of finding things on our site more intuitive for everybody else. The new "Resources by Topic" section, in particular, should make it easier for you to find some of our once-hidden information.

The new look will be introduced to our Groups site and the My NTEN pages over the next few weeks. If you're bored, you can also compare the new site to the old: http://yekk.pair.com/nten.

We're certain there are issues and stylesheet-related funkiness here and there, and we hope you'll tell us about them, along with your general impressions, using our new commenting system. Thanks to Marshall K for sending the fine folks at JSKit.com our way, and thanks to Chris Saad for letting us use Echo. We think it's a terrific system.

Thanks as well to Rebecca Sherrill and Lynn Labieniec at Beaconfire for all the work they did revising our IA. We hope we did their fine work justice.

Finally, thanks to Christian Heilmann at OnlineTools.org for letting us integrate some of his code into our site (in the dynamic navigation menus and the tabbed "Resources by Topic" section -- with more to come).

All of which goes to show we're nothing without our community.
