Take a tour of our new site design

1/29/08 - By Anna Fader
We recently redesigned this site, as most of you know. It took a couple more weeks of tinkering, but the site is now pretty much working the way it should, so we thought it was time to take you for a spin and show off some of the new features. It all started with our reader survey. We asked readers to answer a few short questions about what they liked about the site and what you wanted to see more of. We got almost 100 responses packed with lots of great comments. Thank you to everyone who took the time to answer the survey. If you haven't taken the survey yet, it's not too late to make your voice heard.. We'll be announcing the winner of our survey giveaway on Friday. Mommy Poppins Redesign Site Tour

The Top Tabs At the very top of the page you'll notice the new green tabs. These tabs will take you to some of the main pages of the site, like our winter fun guide. The "Find More" tab takes you to our directory page. Mommy Poppins has hundreds of posts and growing every day and our archives are growing every day. The Find More page is designed to help you find the info you're looking for more easily. Search Still can't find it? Use the search tool on the right side of the header. Subscribe Just above the search tool at the top right of the page, you'll see the subscription center. You can subscribe for free by RSS or by email and be notified whenever Mommy Poppins is updated. If you are not familiar with RSS, I recommend looking into it. RSS lets you read all your favorite sites on one page. To find out more about RSS, read this simple explanation to get started. Event Calendar The most requested addition to the website was, by far, an event calendar. In our calendar you'll find all the posts that reference an event that takes place on a particular date. Hover your mouse over any date and a pop-up of the posts with events on that date will appear. Click on any date and a page with all the posts that mention that date will load. You can also subscribe to our event calendar. Click on the small icon between the months and Mommy Poppins events can be automatically uploaded into certain online calendar programs. New Categories We've added by age and by location categories to help you find the posts you're looking for. If you'd like to take the Mommy Poppins Reader Survey, click here to take survey.
