A New Look/Navigation for LiveBinders Shelves

Tina and I are very excited to announce a new look for the LiveBinders shelf! We believe this look, combined with more logical navigation, will make it easier to find your way around the LiveBinders site.  Special thanks on this release go to Dawn Wall, Dean Mantz, and Mike Fisher for the valuable input that they provided while we were working on this.

We have also added some often requested features with this release which include:

• List view of binders – We love those binders with long titles and descriptions, but sometimes they are hard to see, so we created a list view so you can see it all.
• Search public shelves – Have you ever done a search and found too many binders? Try the same search on shelves, someone has probably already pulled the best binders into a shelf for you.
• Link to tab – Have you ever wanted to share a specific tab in a binder? I do all the time when I send out the Tips and Tricks binder.  Now you can have the binder open directly to a specific tab or subtab of your choosing. Just click on the “E” at the bottom of the binder in the “Share” box and grab the URL from there.

There are lots of details about these new features in this video:

Thank you to everyone in our community for sending in those feature requests. We are working on a lot more of them, so if you don’t see yours today, don’t think that we forgot about you!

Our New Look – Coming February 19!

Thanks to all of your wonderful feedback, we have begun making changes to the overall look of the website.  Our objective with this release is to make navigation easier and your binder shelves more accessible.

Here is just a glimpse of what the website will look like and highlights of some of the changes.

Color me Blue:

Dashboard:

You’ll now see your dashboard at the top and on the left.  You can also close and open your “All My Binders” and “All My Shelves” menus.

Better access to your shelves:

Get more efficient with your organization.  We realized that you have successfully organized all of your resources into many different binders, but now you need a way to organize groups of binders, yours and others’, into meaningful contexts.  Our custom shelf feature is now more easily accessible.

Binder and List views:

Stay Tuned!  We will launch the new website on February 19th.  If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the changes before then, please feel free to contact us at feedback@livebinders.com.
