New Home Page, But More to Come...

It finally happened. We've been waiting a long time...actually, months. But it's here!

On Monday we revealed our new home/login page: www.midchix.com (launching this page will open in a new window). If you log in with Firefox, the browser I recommend for surfing the web, you'll see the boxes have rounded corners, a cool feature you can only view in that browser. You can download Firefox here: www.mozilla.com.

If you can't see our new page because you are taken to the MidChix Wire activity, that means you are still logged in. Which is not a bad thing. But if you want to take a look, go ahead and log out (click on the link in the upper right-hand corner) and you'll see it. Hopefully you won't have any difficulty logging back in, but if you do, send me an email (webbird-at-midchix.com) and I'll get your login straightened out right away.

But this is just the start of a new beginning. You won't be seeing the new home page for long - maybe only for a couple more months - because we've got a whole new impressive system in development as I type. The staff at MidChix can't wait because we'll have a whole new level of functionality, ease in logging in and getting around, and just connecting with each other.

Check back here for future news and updates about the launching of our new site!
