2008 has been a great year for Nature Network. We’ve grown in user base and activity, we put on a really successful conference and so what better way to end off the year than with a makeover?!

Click here for a detailed description of all the changes we made to the site today.

In short, we’ve removed the left-hand margin across the entire site, to make more room for actual content in the middle of the page. The result (we hope!) is a less cluttered website.

We’ve also introduced several new pages that are linked to from a new level of navigation that you’ll see when you click on any of the main menu items (Forums, Groups, People, Blogs, Hubs, You). These pages are meant too make it easier and quicker for you to find interesting content.

We hope you like it. Let us know what you think by email network at nature.com or by posting a comment here.
