New blog layout

December 23, 2007

As you may have noticed, we have changed the layout / look and feel of the Doreo blog. We have switched to more of a “portal” look which we hope will make the blog more useful.

The new layout is broken into three sections. The left most section consists of two tabbed areas. The top set of tabs will contain featured stores. The bottom set of tabs contains graphs with general Doreo Hosting information (Spam Filtering and Uptime for now).

The middle section will contain posts in Five categories

Doreo News
This section will always contain the latest Doreo Hosting news. If there are any server outages (or planned outages) they will be posted here.

Uptime
This section will always contain the latest Doreo Hosting uptime information.

MailFoundry
This section will always contain the latest Doreo Hosting MailFoundry information. It will include any updates to MailFoundry as well as our monthly MailFoundry statistics.

Security
This section will always contain the latest Doreo Hosting MailFoundry security alerts. The section will always contain information on the latest Fnatastico updates as well as notices for all common open source packages.

The left most section contains more typical blog information. The top part contains a form where you can sign up to receive blog posts via email (instead of having to visit the blog). These emails will be in digest format, so you will only receive one email no mater how many posts we make in a single day. The next section shows the ten posts. Finally, near the bottom of the column are links that categorize posts by section (top) as well as in archive format by date.

We hope you find the new portal layout helpful. Our intent was to create a site where you can quickly and easily check for the latest Doreo Hosting and outages. As usual, we appreciate your feedback and we will adjust the layout/design over the coming months as we receive feedback.
