It's been an exciting month for CivilizedNation.
In addition to retooling the books page and adding new features to our interactive maps,we have recently launched a brand new main page, which, in my personal opinion, looks about as professional as anything you'd see at CNN or the BBC (in fact, it's even better, since it's cleaner and less cluttered than those pages).
With the end of 2006 in sight, we decided it was time to give the main page a face lift, so that viewers who visited CivilizedNation.com through the main page would realize that CivilizedNation was so much more than a bunch of news stories.
The news stories are still there of course (just click on international news), and we love it when our readers submit inspirational success stories of environmentally sustainable and socially responsible practices from around the world, but with the new main page, we're equally proud of the what we've done with the music, movies, books and interactivity pages.
We also hope, with the new layout, that people will notice our CivilizedNation t-shirts, which touch on a variety of subjects, from education to bicycle advocacy.
They're not only great, fashionable items, but they're also a great way to support CivilizedNation.com, helping us improve the website even more.
In the beginning of 2007, we hope viewers will take notice of our Civilized Newsletter, which will bring the best of CivilizedNation.com straight to their e-mail box once a week.
More on that later, though.
Enjoy what we've done so far, and have a happy new year!
