Now that Invision Community 5 is released it is time to restructure and build for real!

Now that Invision Community 5 is released it is time to restructure and build this site with a better focus. Up until now I have mostly played around with the new functionality and I have not moved a lot of content, but now it is time to re-focus the site. As I am continuing to work with Atlassian in my new job, that will also remain my focus here on the site, but I will refocus to be more about me than trying to build a community. There will still be community functionality of course, but it will be as a part of my content and not the main focus.

The first thing that I need to do is to change the start page. Currently, it is just all content splashed and no real focus on direction. The new start page will have more focus on me, what I offer and how to get in touch with me. This means that much of the content that currently exist will be removed from the start page. I will also move some areas like My Personal Blog to be only for members and My Articles will be the focus for my writings. The Articles section will be renamed to just Articles and I will connect the two databases for articles differently than today.

I will also create a new page for my book The Advanced Atlassian Administration Guidebook. This way I can prepare for when it is ready to be sold. My thoughts right now are to create a section for each of the chapters with information on what I intend to write there. I will also add a newsletter sign up so I can send out updates to those that want to learn more about the progress of the book. I will add a section on the main page for this as well to make it easy to find. On the book page I will also add information on how to participate in the Club by providing feedback on the content, or inspire new content.

While this will not be a very large change for you as a member or visitor, it will be a lot of work behind the scenes to clean things out. The biggest changes for you will be a new navigation and the new pages for the start page and the book page.
