Site menu improvements

I have improved the site's Top Nav and Actions menus.

  • Top Nav is now integrated with the Drupal menu system properly so that it displays the same pretty icons as the rest of the site.
    • Guests see a "Create an account" link first in the menu until they login.
    • Logged in users see a "My account" and "Logout" link on the right instead of hunting below on the sidebar.
    • There's a newly prominent "What's New" link front and center with a cool green radar icon I designed. This makes it easy to see all the latest content on every part of the site in one list.
    • The forum has a prominent link on the top to make it easy for people to go there and discuss.
  • The Actions menu now includes clearly labeled links to create all our major content types with a shiny icon for each one.
  • The action menu's nonmenclature distinguishes between "Document a medium/audience/idea/skill" for collaborative writing to reach objective explanations of shared subjects, "Post a topic/link/entry/event" for personal writing and "Start a campaign/group" for launching collaborative undertakings.
What do you think of these menu improvements?

whoot!!!

definately very well done.  I like it a lot.  Seeing as im not an expert I can't realy judge like quality or anything but its chilly.

Moving in the right direction

The empowerment site.  Now 15% more user friendly.

 

Thanks for the implementations.  It's still a mess, but that Whats New page is a freaking godsend.  I assume that tracks ALL content types right? 

Yes and there will be more where that came from

I will be integrating the tabs for tracking activity by organic groups you are in, replies to threads you are watching, etc

A great improvement!

This really breathes life into the top menu links... makes me want to click on them!
