Update: The maintenance has been completed.
We will be performing system maintenance from 9pm to 12am Pacific on Tuesday, February 20th.
We'll be performing the system maintenance as part of our update to the system. The yourminis.com site will be largely unavailable while we are performing this upgrade.
You will undoubtedly see many changes with this new release, but the largest change will be the new emphasis on our community.
The www.yourminis.com site will be changed from the internal facing start page, to a vibrant community landing page. The community will allow our members to more easily discover and consume fresh content, while also interacting with other members in the form of ratings, views and comments. Here's a sneak peak at the new layout:
Some specific changes include:
- A community landing page. This will be the page that you see when you access http://www.yourminis.com directly. The page will include simple information to get you started with creating your internal start page environment and with customizing and publishing widgets. In addition, we will showcase feature published pages, individual widgets and our community members. We will also be displaying our blog in our own RSS widget, so that you can get a sense for the latest happenings.
- The public pages section will include featured pages, top rated pages and recently added pages. As before, you'll be able to interact with the pages, rate them, discuss them and more. You can also search for specific types of pages, see similar types of pages, and get a sense for the other members that have visited the particular page.
- The new "widget" section will allow you to get a better feel for each widget before adding it to your start page and/or publishing it to other sites. The individual widget pages provide a brief description of the widget functionality and allow you to interact with and customize the actual widget.
- We've even added a profile page for each user so that you can let everyone know what your interests are as well as anything else you may want to share.
Although we think you'll love the community, we understand that some of you might just want to continue to access your internal start page. If you'd rather bypass the community page and go directly to your start page, you will need to go to http://www.yourminis.com/start.
We'd love to hear your thoughts and comments, even before we go live with this release. Let us know what you think about the screenshot, the functionality, or whatever else is on your mind - either here or in our forums.
Thanks for the terrific support!
