http://www.thefhguide.com/blog/home-page-updates/?utm_source=The+Family+History+Guide+Association+Blog+Main&utm_campaign=5260796d7b-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_41be9f9d3a-5260796d7b-283099673

By subscribing to The Family History Guide blog, you can keep up-to-date with all the new features and additions to this extremely useful website. The link to the post about "Home Page Updates" is above in the caption to the screenshot. Here is a list of the updates.

• Menu Help – Just above the banner area is a small open / close link titled “Menu Help”. Click it to get a brief description of the menus at the top of each page in The Family History Guide. This is a gentle reminder that you can find whatever you need on the website by using the drop-down menus; you don’t have to use the tiles or links on the Home Page.
• Search – Also just above the banner area is the Search link; it has been moved into the header area on each page of the site so you can find it without scrolling. For more details, see our blog post The “Search” is On.
• Font size and color – We’ve reduced the text size in the banner in order to fit two tiles on the right, and we’ve made the green color consistent on the page.
• Mission recap – We’ve added a shortened version of our mission statement at the bottom of the banner: “Family history made easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable!”
• Get Started – see the description below.
• Quick Tour – This is a link to our Quick Tour video, but it will change when more videos are added (see “Sneak Peek” below).
• Google Translate bar – This has been moved higher up the page so it’s visible without having to scroll down.

Here is a screenshot of the Home Page as of the date of this post.
