New GRID-Arendal Homepage
After extensive feedback and input from GRID-Arendal staff,
the information unit redesigned, and launched a new homepage
for the GRID-Arendal web site. The new homepage features
easier access to specific regional information, better overall navi-
gation, improved categorising of information products, and an
improved graphical interface. A new feature allows users to log
in their e-mail address, which automatically signs them up to
receive announcements of new products and information from
the GRID-Arendal web site.
