Greetings and Salutations!

The reorganization of the new Travel and Culture channel is all complete! We have a promotion for it on our site homepage, there is news about it at the top of the forum pages, and the left channel list now shows the link to the new Travel & Culture area. The old page (Society & Culture) still exists in the system, it's just not linked to any more. That way even if people end up there by following old Google links, they'll see our new information, so nobody will be lost :)

Please take a look and let me know if you have any feedback! This update was completely seamless for the editors in that area. It is now much easier for visitors and editors to find all country-related content in one spot.

Now that everyone is "together" in one community, it's easier to see where we have gaps! Looking at our traffic reports, in terms of where our visitors live, our top four non-US countries are the Philippines, Nigeria, India, and South Africa. We don't have sites for any of those places :) I'll be making those sites in the next few days. If you're a fully graduated editor and have an interest in taking one of those on, keep your eyes open for that and apply when they go live!


GOALS, PRIORITIES, and TIME MANAGEMENT

Now that the rush of the new year resolutions are over, it's a great time to re-check your priority and goal lists and see if you're on track! Did you know the Apollo mission was technically off course 90% of the time? They reached their destination because they did regular adjustments to their activities to keep things on track! We are here to help with that.

Post in these forums, which have a step by step process set up on planning and managing your world, and we'll give you personalized help!
