PsychoNoble Relaunch

We're back.  After six months, PsychoNoble is finally back.  Welcome to a new era of PsychoNoble's history.  Obviously, a lot has changed, but much has also stayed the same.  Here is the low down on what's new, what's back, and everything else to get you up to speed.

New Design:  The most obvious change is the complete overhaul of our layout.  We moved from a wordy and complicated layout to, what we hope, is a more user friendly design.

One of the main goals of the new design was to get PsychoNoble's content to you, the viewers, as easily as possible.  Thus, we have drastically altered our homepage.  We done away with our bulky "News" section to instead showcase what our site is about, our content.  Now you'll get a taste of the latest Articles/Events/Films (and everything else) right on the front page.

Another change put in place to help you get to content quicker is a simplified navigation.  We've consolidated our navigation down to nearly half of what it was before.  Also, each of the main pages (Articles, Events, etc.) is much easier to use.  Instead of navigating through directory after directory to get to what you want, everything is right up front.

Columns:  Another new feature we have put into place is Columns.  These are articles that form a series, either limited or on-going, that will be featured right on the main page.  We hope that people will get invested in these columns and look forward to them as they are released.  Some of our Columns you may recognize and some are brand new.  These are what we have going right now:

Bags and Boards: A Look into Comics - A returning series, now in a new monthly format.  Comic book opinions, insight, and reviews will be the forefront, along with whatever else comes along.

Life in the Upper Midwest - Another returning series that chronicles what life is like living in the Upper Midwest.

NBA: The Over-Under - A brand new series examining the most over and underrated players in the NBA.

News That Sucks - From the ridiculous to the pointless, a look at news that shouldn't be news.

Over the next few weeks these series will come to life as the first/newest editions are posted.

Profile Pages:  Have you clicked on the faces yet?  In doing so you'll be taken to that author's profile page.  Each of these pages are maintained by the author's themselves and provide you a unique experience.  While each has a bio, others are modified freely to include things such as blogs, links, and whatever else an author wants to post.

We've made a lot of big changes, both up front and behind the scenes, but one thing that'll always stay the same is our dedication to maintaining what PsychoNoble really is.  While we may be writing more in certain areas then before, if we have something to say, we'll say it.  This site is our outlet.  You can still expect to see articles on just about any topic out there.  We won't be tied down and write about what we think people want.  We write here just as much for us as we do for you.  What you see and read is who we are.  We are PsychoNoble.

In the coming weeks and months, you'll see this new era of PsychoNoble expand and grow.  This is just the beginning.

Now go forth brethren.  Spread the word.  PsychoNoble is back.
