Making News page more visible

[dmagda]

Igniters, especially Prachi, Mauricio, Dmitriy,

The news section [1] of the site was evolved significantly over the past time.

First, I suggest us making it more visible by adding a link to it in the top-most header placing between “blogs” and “twitter”.

Second, can we anchor every piece of news [1] so that it can be referred directly from other sources. Also it makes sense to add “Twitter”, “FB”, “LinkedIn” icons close to every news so that we can promote them easily.

What do you think?

Agree with both the suggestions. I have attached the patch for the header. Lmk if I should add the social media links on the news page.

Looks much better! Thanks for making that change.

I've just joined the Apache Ignite community. Most of my career has been devoted to building and growing technical online communities. I'd be honored to help the Apache Ignite community grow via some modest social promotion, blogging -- anywhere I can be of service. So I'll be keeping my eyes open for suggestions, too, and also making some recommendations from time to time.

Thanks, Denis! I agree that an anchor would make sense. Also really like the idea to add the social icons to make sharing fast and easy.

Prachi, as one of the site maintainers, would you mind contributing this?
