Front Page Portal Coming Soon

intelliot · 12-22-2006, 05:06 PM

I'm looking into creating a friendlier front page for when you type "GoogleCommunity.com" into your browser. Here are some goals:

Explain what Google Community is all about
Provide most of the information you're looking for
Be always updated with the latest Google news and discussions

On the left sidebar, we'll have:

Search box
Users who posted today
Latest posts
Link to view New Posts since you last visited

In the center, we'll have:

Google and GC news
Featured discussions

On the right sidebar, we'll have:

Newest members
Top posters
Statistics

Any suggestions?

Yes, I've a suggestion here Intelliot. How about we try to intergrate content from the Google Search Blog into the Google Community front page? I think it's possible to use the RSS feed from the blog.

About the layout, it's simple and nice on the eyes, but I prefer to stick to a clean layout and avoid any unnecessary boxes. So just stick to the essentials.

I am struggling to find the Google web search forum.

Go to the Forum Index

Maybe a link to the actual forums would be good on the homepage.

Hmm... gsearchblog is down... I think I forgot about it and got rid of the server it used to be hosted on. I'll work on restoring it later.
