Notice something different on the homepage? In a subtle switch, late yesterday we changed three of the topical buttons on the right side of the homepage to reflect NASA’s new path and new programs.

Continuing to Refine our Future Homepage Buttons May 23, 2011 06:43:42 PM | jtownsend
 
We’ve reviewed a lot of the initial feedback and have narrowed down the concepts to one from the earlier selection, and a new one based upon feedback left by a few folks. We also have narrowed down the labels to a couple of choices using the same feedback.

We're Looking for Ideas of the Future May 19, 2011 04:57:08 PM | jtownsend
 
As we transition from some mostly-discontinued programs to new programs, one of the most prominent changes will be the button links at the top right of www.nasa.gov. These buttons are our way of getting users quickly to the latest news and features in our key topic areas.

Shifting Trends Mar 04, 2011 01:09:16 PM | jtownsend
 
Last week, we launched our first shuttle mission in nine months and first of the remaining three space shuttle missions. Given the lull in shuttle missions and the ramp-up to the end of the space shuttle era, we weren't shocked to see an increase in traffic on the website.

NASA's First Android App Jan 18, 2011 03:21:49 PM | jtownsend
 
You've probably heard all the hype about Tang being invented as a drink for the astronauts. Well, we hate to say this -- but that's not true. But lots of other amazing technologies have been invented by NASA or through NASA-funded research and now we've got an App for that.

Thank You! Dec 13, 2010 04:26:11 PM | jtownsend
 
In many ways, last week was an experiment for us. Like most sites, we collect user feedback about our pages, the designs, the content and more. And we have always incorporated user testing into our design process. It's really an integral part of the process.

Seeking Feedback on a New Approach to NASA.gov Navigation Dec 07, 2010 10:18:42 AM | jtownsend
 
We're working on a new approach to our navigation menus and we want to hear what you think of them. The primary goal of the new menu design is to surface popular and hard-to-find contents so they are easier for you to get to.

With Thanksgiving behind us, we at NASA.gov are thankful for our colleagues across the country who work so hard to tell the story of NASA on the web. We'd like to take a few moments to point out some of the new enhancements we've all been working on this fall.

Always Room for Improvement Jul 01, 2010 05:05:25 PM | jtownsend
 
Last month, Google released what it considers the top 1,000 web sites in the world and NASA made the list. We were honored to make the cut and were the third highest federal government site on the list. Some would think that a well deserved vacation is in order since we're already on the top web site list. But our teams are working harder than ever to improve the site.

Hello? Can you hear me now? Jan 21, 2010 03:49:13 PM | jtownsend
 
We heard a lot of feedback based upon the NASA TV Schedule changes we recently made through the comments on the blog post introducing it, through the replies on Twitter and through the NASA Web site e-mail. Most of it had one big complaint with what we did and we heard it loud and clear. Most of you who wrote in would like to see a rundown list of programming that is being carried live instead of having the scroll through so many hours of programming in the new interface.

Going from Cloudy to Clear Jan 21, 2010 03:35:03 PM | jtownsend
 
There's a part of the homepage that very few users were looking at. If you went to the homepage, I'd bet that you missed it several times over the last several years. Most of our visitors do. It was a little graphic in the right hand column about two-thirds of the way down the page. And for the last four months or so, it has said "2012" in really big digits in four different places.

As promised in the last post, yesterday we rolled out a new NASA Television schedule page. This page shows NASA's three television channels listed much like you'd see listings in your local newspaper with blocks of time indicating which program is on which channel.

Getting a Jump Start on our New Year's Resolution Diet Dec 14, 2009 01:09:56 PM | jtownsend
 
You might have noticed a condensed homepage that launched earlier today. In response to your feedback on the old 'NASA TV & Video' box, we're trying a new approach to surface different types of multimedia without burying some content in "hidden" tabs.

NASA Chats Help to Make it a 'Small World (After All)' Nov 19, 2009 08:59:18 AM | jtownsend
 
Maybe Walt Disney was right when he commissioned the song, “It’s a Small World (After All)” in the 1960s. At the time, commercial aircraft and other modes of transportation were beginning to bring folks together from the furthest reaches of the planet as never before. Fast-forward to the 1990s when the spread of the Internet made the world an even smaller place.
