HEALTH & WELL-BEING
Introducing -- the new iVillage. Take a look! It's brighter, more up-to-date, and easier to use. In addition to the fresh new look and the improved navigation, we've done a lot of behind-the-scenes organizing to make sure it's easy to find our best stuff.
Let’s start off on the new Health & Well-Being http://health.ivillage.com page where the the first thing you will notice is that we’ve had a makeover! Look at the bold new colors on the page – think raspberry and latte. You'll see more photos and graphics, too. The new look is inviting and we think that this is where you’ll want to start off your day.
We've also got a new name -- Health & Well-Being. Health is broadening its mission to include information, inspiration and support for women who want to live a healthy lifestyle. In the new Health & Well-Being channel, you'll find great new features and loads of content on helping you and your family be your healthiest.
Now look along the left side of the page. Check out topics such as Mind/Body http://health.ivillage.com/mindbody/topics/0,,4vj4,00.html , Eating Well http://health.ivillage.com/eating/topics/0,,4vh8,00.html and Active Living http://health.ivillage.com/active/topics/0,,4vg7,00.html . And don’t forget to come here to get help with Everyday Problems http://health.ivillage.com/everdayprobs/topics/0,,4txt,00.html as well.
You’ll also be able to all get the latest health news and find out what Gear & Products http://health.ivillage.com/gearproducts/topics/0,,4vj3,00.html we love. And, there is also a link that will take you to our Message Board Central http://health.ivillage.com/messageboards .
Next, look at the right side of the page. This is our new "fourth column". This column appears on most iVillage pages and it's a place where you can find some of our best links -- like the cool products that are featured in Stuff We Love. There's also a spot for the latest in Video News. You’ll also be able to find out What Women Are Saying on our message boards. Mouse over the fourth column and watch the sections open up.
Of course, you'll still find the largest community of women online, sharing information and stories and offering support. You’ll notice that our redesigned Message Board Central http://www.ivillage.com/messageboards now makes it easier to find all your favorite boards and might even introduce you to a new board or two that you never knew existed. Our boards won’t be changing, but you’ll see new navigation bars along the top and bottom of the page.
Let’s take a look at what’s happening on some of our other channels. Have you visited our new Entertainment channel http://entertainment.ivillage.com yet? You can stay up-to-date on all the latest celeb gossip in the Daily Blabber http://www.ivillagedailyblabber.blogspot.com/ . Or if you like cop shows, test your TV cop trivia with the Celebrity Matchmaker: Cop Shot http://entertainment.ivillage.com/games/0,,772w5khn,00.html . And, if you’re a parent, we think you will love our Family TV Substitution Guide http://entertainment.ivillage.com/family/0,,6ztp7ls1,00.html – a handy guide to help you choose appropriate programming for all your kids. Click on your child's age and you'll see the names of shows they might choose – and right next to it, the name of a show that you might find more suitable. Plus, if you’re looking for a woman's point of view on new movie releases, check the Leading Ladies' http://entertainment.ivillage.com/movies/reviews/0,,ladies_78zcd9nw,00.html reviews. These reviews are written by top women film critics from around the country and are updated every week.
Even if you don’t have kids yourself, you probably have friends who do. For the last stop on the Tour, we'd like to show you the brand new Pregnancy & Parenting http://parenting.ivillage.com homepage. The coolest thing about this page is that it's customizable so that the info you see is specifically tailored to your stage of pregnancy or to your children’s ages and stages of life. As you move along in your pregnancy or as your children get older, you’ll find new articles, quizzes and tools that will be specifically selected to fit your needs. Take a few minutes right now to set up your page and see for yourself.
You'll find fresh new craft and activity ideas (be sure to check out the Valentine's Day projects! http://parenting.ivillage.com/gs/gscelebrations/0,,77s5907k,00.html and great finds for pregnancy, baby and kids -- toys, gear, clothes and more. You’ll also want to meet our Reality-Check Moms http://parenting.ivillage.com/mom/0,,77ndx30g,00.html – our humorous monthly column written by real moms about real life.
That just about wraps things up. Thanks for taking the tour – and if you saw something you really loved, tell your community about it! In the coming months, we'll be adding more and more new stuff – like the Virtual Model, new columnists and lots more. And take some time to check out all of our other channels, too - – Beauty & Style, Diet & Fitness, House & Home, Love & Sex.
We’d love to hear your feedback and what you love the most about our new makeover. Let us know what you think!
