I just launched a completely overhauled website design. It was time for a redesign. The old design had become a mess to maintain, and was hard to navigate. The new design takes into account that the site has grown substantially since I launched it earlier this year. If you find any broken links, errors, not so great looking items, please post a comment so that I can fix them!

So what’s new? The new navigation bar directly under the page title gives you direct access to the main components of the site:

• Home: The new main page does not count my blog posts in full anymore. Instead, I only show excerpts of each blog post. This should make the page faster to load and easier to take in. On the left hand side, you can quickly get to my most popular blog posts and subscribe to my blog.
• Blog: My blog is the most popular item on my page. The new design features better blog navigation via the left bar.
• Forums: The second interactive component of my page are my forums. When you click on the forums link, you’ll be sent to the same forums page as before. Integrating the new design into the forums will happen in the near future.
• Office 2007: The most changes happened in the Office 2007 section. Navigating the Office 2007 section should now be vastly improved, and I hope the new organization of the content will make this section popular.
• Customize: Customizing Office 2007’s Ribbon User Interface is the primary topic of my site. The Customize section will give you an overview as to how and what can be customized.
• RibbonX:My site now features a RibbonX Portal! I would like to make this the top location to go to for everything RibbonX. If you have any content that you would like to have integrated/linked to from my RibbonX Portal, please post it in the RibbonX Portal forum. Over the next few weeks, I’ll add a lot of content of my own to it.
• OneNote: As a OneNote MVP, I need a section dedicated to OneNote. Content-wise, nothing is really different there. I don’t expect to add much to it in the coming weeks, as I will be focusing on my RibbonCustomizer add-in and the RibbonX Portal.
• Eng. 1: If you are a student in my Engineering 1 class, this is where you should go.
• Research: A quick overview of my published papers. When I have time, I’ll update it with more content.

In addition to all of this, my site now has a Google search box on almost every page. So if you are looking for something on my page, but are not sure where it is, give the search box a try.
