New site feedback
Thanks for all the feedback on our new-look site, folks, we have taken it all on board and are working furiously to ensure all the minor bugs are removed.
The comments section – powered by Disqus – is now working and it's been great to see the readers participating again!
Also, for our LIVE SCORING, click on the tab in the right-hand scoring box, click on Live Scores, which, in turn, will link to a brand-new scoring page which will allow you to follow the big rugby matches live on rugby365.com.
Thanks for your patience and all the emails thus far – we have read every single one… as we are here to being you all the regular news and views on an easier to use website!
Cheers,
The rugby365 editorial team
Just to recap then on the new design:
As you already know, we have tweaked our logo slightly and also swapped the website's regular yellow for green, but our core colour, blue, has remained.
The new site is less cluttered, with bigger in-story pictures (there can be as many as three scrolling pictures per article – just click on the arrows on the pictures to scroll through them), exclusive pull quotes, related articles and additional story links on the right-hand sides of all stories across all sections.
All this has been done to give you a more rewarding and, ultimately, easier experience on rugby365.com. The new website is also easier to navigate and it has plenty of new features – including the new social networking offering, which means an easier connection to Facebook and Twitter (making it easier to share articles with friends and family). We also now have a dedicated section to host all of the best YouTube rugby videos on a daily basis, as well as a picture of the day – both which will be updated daily.
Other new features are the re-introduction of our always popular lookalikes section and a funky new section called 'On the Edge' – which will be updated every day with gossip, players' birthdays and any facts and/or figures which might be interesting.
A new site also means a new-look newsletter and our twice-weekly rugby365 newsletter will become a once-a-week offering only; due in your inboxes every Thursday mid-morning and jam-packed with all your favourite news and views ahead of the weekend.
Of course, it's all about our readers and we would appreciate any feedback about the new site. After all, this change is to bring you a better offering and we will take everything on board… where possible!
