Green Blog re-design

It’s not just the climate that is changing these days. So is the Green Blog website… Yes. I know. That was an awful introduction to our new website design. Sorry!

Besides a brand new design for Green Blog the biggest new things is our new comment system which have received a major overhaul (you can now reply, give reputation etc!) and that we have given Twitter an prominent place on the site.

In the coming days we will also give you the possibility to change the frontpage layout. But more on that later!

With this new design we will also introduce Apture (that’s an Apture link right there!) in our blog posts. Apture allows you to dig deeper into a subject without ever leaving the blog post. When you click on any link marked by the icons video icon, photo icon, or audio icon, you will be able to view video, reference materials, images and other related media.

Your comments are your voice and so far your voice has been lost into an endless void of anonymity. IntenseDebate brings your identity into the light by providing you with a user profile and comment history. With an IntenseDebate account you will have a reputation attached to your identity that is displayed whenever you make a comment. The reputation value serves as a quick overview of your comment history and is based on the quantity and more importantly the quality of the comments you have made.

Hopefully you will enjoy this new, and much faster, website design. If not you can always rage about it using our new comment system!
