New Look for FIRE's Homepage

by

Robert Shibley

February 4, 2011

You may have noticed that FIRE's homepage has undergone a subtle change lately—the bar on the right containing headlines from The Torch has gotten larger and now includes timestamps to let you know when each blog entry was posted. We made this change because FIRE puts up a lot of material on our blog every day, and we want to make sure that those who might just visit FIRE's homepage know about all the great content we have to offer.

We're always looking for better ways to get our message out. So, as part of our constant website improvement process, we would love some feedback from those of you reading this blog about how you use FIRE's website. If you have a second, would you mind taking the poll below? Thanks!
