The NuTang Collage is dedicated to all active members. You can also find a link to it from the hompage.

In fact, there is a new section of links added to the homepage, entitled "Quick Links." As suggested by invisible, a link to this blog has been added to the homepage (under "Quick Links").

The last new link added is http://pingomatic.com/. This is a pretty useful resource, since it may drive more traffic to your site ( = more revenue). Each time you update your page, be sure to use that service to ping your blog.

One last subtle change is the integration of technorati tags to the categories feature. Bluetopaz had mentioned http://technorati.com in a comment a while back. (I read all comments!) If you check your blog entry categories now, beside each is a small "t" link (look below). That is the technorati tag link.

As you can, the NuTang's header looks slightly different. First, the main navigation (e.g. "Home," "Join!," "Help," etc.) has been shifted up to the top bar. Secondly and more importantly, the top banner has been removed from all member sites.

The reason for these changes was to minimize the header's size, giving it a cleaner look. It will then allow you more room and flexibility in designing your member site.

Dave also add on the change navigation colours hack to help you in your customization efforts.

Well, so dave urged me to give a plug about the NuTang Template Contest. Full details here:
http://www.nutang.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=960

You can win up to 1,000pps + choice of item from NuStore (a 1000pps value) in this contest. There are already 15 submissions. Once dave receives about 25, he will start the public voting for the winner.

So, let's get this going! If you have a worthy template, submit and win some cool prizes! Also, your template will be added into the NuTang pre-made templates database, thus securing your legacy in NuTang history.

If you're more perceptive than a flying duck, then you may have noticed the newest addition to the homepage -- NuTang's Most Active. This is a list of the 5 NuTang members who spend the most time on NuTang (browsing around).

Originally, this feature was only meant to showcase 2 members, and maybe also display their NuWorld tagline alongside their avatar + some profile information.

This most active list will refresh monthly (maybe weekly?), so everyone gets a fair chance to make it onto the homepage as NuTang's most active. Also, using this "activity" stat, we can create a collage of avatars ... something maybe like this here. <-- that site found off theZEBRA's member site.
