Better by design

Eagle-eyed readers will have noticed a few changes to the fibresytems.org homepage. These changes are designed to bring more value to the site for you, our readers, by expanding the amount of content, and making it easier to find. After all, our job is to make your job easier, by delivering breaking news and insightful analysis of the optical networking industry. We hope that the new changes will allow us to do that even more effectively.

For starters, we've added a top story panel to the homepage. This new feature will allow us to highlight some of the in-depth feature articles from the magazine. In addition, we plan to introduce some exclusive web-only features in the second-half of the year.

The other key change is that the fibresystems.org blog now has its own panel on the homepage so you can see at a glance what's new and click straight to it.

Other changes in the pipeline in the next few months include improvements to the search tool, which will allow you to search the site by date or by relevance, and to filter the results from different sections of the site.

Plus we'll soon be launching a video channel to bring you vendor perspectives on the industry. Details of the video channel are being kept under wraps for now; all will be revealed at the end of June.

One final point: fibresystems.org is as much your website as it is ours. As part of our ongoing development work, we'd love to get your feedback on what we could be doing better for you in terms of content delivery and site functionality. If you've got any constructive suggestions, even if you want to have a rant, just click on the commenting tool at the end of this article.
