Ideas for redesigning the Autodesk labs home page
The Autodesk Labs web site has lots of technologies and utilities. We are in the process of looking at new designs for our home page to make things easier to find. One way of looking at the content is based on what Autodesk product you are using. I have loosely modeled this idea with a blog page called:
Some people are frequent visitors to the Autodesk Labs home page. These people want to know what's new. I have loosely modeled this with a blog page called:
These two pages contain links to the same Autodesk Labs information but presented in diferent ways. What are your ideas for our home page? I would love to hear them. Please send your feedback to TheLabs@autodesk.com.

Thank you for commenting. You are correct in that the two proposals look very blog-like. They were intended to show an organization of information - not so much the format. I should have spelled that out. Those pages are TypePad pages that are indeed part of It's Alive in the Lab. I intend to keep those pages regardless of what type of extreme makeover we give the Labs site. The Autodesk Labs site itself is based on the community platform which other Autodesk communities also use.

The two proposals suffer from an extremely long blog-like left hand margin. What is the LABs site built on? Blogger, TypePad, Wordpress? Move it to Joomla. You'll be happier.

Thnak you for that feedback. I will give Opera a try. Maybe there is an easy fix.
