This is a special note for our most avid readers. TPM’s coming up on its 11th anniversary. Next week we’re celebrating the official launch of our new TPM2012 site vertical. And today we’re rolling out our first full-scale site redesign in more than four years. Last night we launched it in beta. So you’re probably not seeing it now. But one click and you’ll be there.
If you’d like to see it and switch over now, just click the “Try The New TPM Design” link at the top of the page. Once you click there, your browser will default to the new design. And if you’re not quite ready to take the plunge, you can click back to this old design.
We’re excited about the new look. And I’ll be sharing more with you shortly about our aims with the new design and look. For now though, we’re mainly interested in your reaction. Take a look and tell us what you think.
