I’m very pleased to report that we have redesigned reefs.org site, and that some of you have already noticed that it is both more attractive and functional. The activity on.Reefs.org and Advanced Aquarist has grown steadily over the few years that they have been in existence. As always, if any of you can think of a way to improve either please let us know. The world of cyberspace is indeed the brave new world of our time.

The following information was supplied by Shane Graber, who developed both sites. Great job Shane!

"We are live!

Reefs.org is pleased to announce the release of our new and improved community web site! It has taken our team well over a year to complete this large project, and we're all very excited to bring you the results of our efforts. reefsorg.png

Here are some of what the new Reefs.org offers:

• Over 750 reefkeeping articles More than 1500 Photos An updated Hitchhiker FAQ New, exclusively designed wallpapers for your computer New Surveys and Polls A thriving community exchanging experiences in our discussion forums Site-wide news feeds A significantly improved search engine Improved navigation and indexing * An advanced web infrastructure serving as a platform for future projects

The site has undergone a dramatic improvement of its organization. Reefs.org is now easier, faster, and more accurate to navigate than ever before. On just the homepage alone, you can now read about the latest issue of Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine (AAOLM), find recent information about Marine Aquarist Courses Online (MACO), learn about upcoming reefkeeping events (such as MACNA and IMAC), and save money on the current sponsor's Powerbuys. And thanks to the news feeds (using RSS), you will be able to stay up-to-date with new article postings, newly listed Powerbuys, your personal search results, site announcements, new calender events, and more.

It is important to stress the new Reefs.org is not a mere superficial update; We are preparing our community for the next-generation reefkeeping portal, capable of endless possibilities.

Reefs.org has always prided itself on being a complete resource for reefkeepers, bringing innovation in how information is shared and acquired amongst hobbyist. We were the first online reefkeeping chat (#reefs on afterx.net), a pioneer in dedicated reefkeeping forums, the first to publish a monthly, professional online periodical (Advanced Aquarist Online Magazine), and the first to offer an online curriculum for marine aquarists (Marine Aquarist Courses Online). Reefs.org has a proven history of being a "hobbyist-first" community, relentlessly aiming to improve the hobbyists' experience when other communities may choose to do only what is required to stay competitive. As our membership and traffic grows, so must Reefs.org grow to better serve our community. We will continue to strive for improvement, and our new infrastructure will provide us with this boundless potential. We invite everyone to join Reefs.org in our vision.

Today, Reefs.org is more ready than ever to be where reefkeeping begins on the Internet. We hope you will share our excitement and join us in this new era of community building and informations sharing. If you are an avid reefkeeper with fresh ideas, a local society looking for new exposure, a manufacturer interesting in getting the word out on your product line, etc. .... we'd love to hear from you.

Reefs.org would like to thank Shane Graber for heading up the site redesign, Leonard Ho for the graphical and styling work, and Wade Lehmann for his update on the Hitchhiker FAQ and the upcoming MACO website."
