Summer updates!

Hello! Finally I am back to blogging and there are a lot of changes I need to share so this may be a longer entry! 
Homepage Redesign: Probably the most apparent change... I completely revamped the homepage! Much of the change was planned long ago in the back of my mind but I had put it off fearing it would not be as great as I imagined. I also feared ArtStars may loose it's orginal creative feel and spunk... so I tested it out and I really liked what I saw. After pondering for months I finally republished the site with the brand new look! The ultimate goal was to make it easier to use and understand, quicker to navigate, simplier for newer users, and mobile friendly. I feel confident I delivered on that goal. Hope you all enjoy the changes!
New services: I posted a while back about this... two new chapters (Visual Art and written Art) have been added to ArtStars supporting newer forms of art other than drawing and animating. It's an addition I feel proud is now apart of us because I never wanted the site to limit the creativity to which someone could share their passion for art online!
Core Purpose: Lastly, as I updated the pages of my site I thought a lot about what I want the first impression to be... therefore the ultimate idea that people get the second they scan the homepage. I want people to instantly feel that this is a site that loves art, therefore I added feature photos to the front. I want people to know that it's all about sharing our work and connected through art, therefore I added the CONNECT button and added social network links. However this also meant I eliminated some things... most recently I have removed the "just chat" button. I realised that it did not add much to the site and was just another button that cluttered the homepage. Now chatting has been condensed to the connect page and user profiles!
Hope you all enjoy the updates and my deep analysis of them!
