Are you ready for a new and improved way to manage your website? We are a few week away from rolling out our new website administration bar. Before we do we have opened it up for you to help us test it and get feedback.

The new website administration bar will replace the backend administration area, giving you a new and improved experience when editing and customizing your website along with a few other new additions on the site management end of things.

New front end style editing, no more having to enter your website administration area to manage your website.
More intuitive menu structure from updating, maintaining and getting help with your website.
New administrator announcements area to keep you informed on new updates, tips, and other news happening throughout the network.
Full page manager that is clearer and easier to understand. This will make it easier for you to locate pages that need editing.

Our goal with the website administration bar is to make things easier for new users to use our platform for social website creation. The new website administration area combines what we have learned over the past 3 years about how people use their website and with feedback from users that decided not to continue with their website with us.

As a result we have released a platform update today you can optionally switch to the new website administration bar and help us improve it through your collective feedback. We will be fully release the new website administration bar to all websites by the end of this month.

Like we have experienced in the past, we know change can be hard for some people. But this update is about moving the platform forward. When giving us feedback ether positive or negative please provide information to back up your feedback so that we can make adjustments and improvements.

If you want to take part in trying out the new website administration bar on your website, you can do so by visiting your website management welcome page. On that page you will see a link Use New Website Manager.

Please post all feedback, bugs, and suggestions in our Website Administration Bar topic on our Owner Community Forums.

			kanoobi(Oct 5th) First look it seems ok. I'm glad you can turn it off I was worried it would always be shown for an admin. Only thing I don't like is that I always used the advanced view when editing a page, so I am going to miss that very much. So far everything else looks cool, a quicker way to access the file manager for example. Nice one! Rate1
