Notice anything different?
Today, we’re jumping into new territory. For a while now, we’ve known that we’d outgrown the older format of our website, especially the blog (which we’ve now placed front and center on our home page). We needed something more dynamic and fluid. Something with more space to grow and stretch and share and congregate. We needed a playspace.
The Outcome: A site completely built on Wordpress.
More Swings, Slides, and Potlucks to Come…
Right now, we’ve got the basic layout of the playspace, but the nature of play is somewhat loose and open to imagination, so there’s a lot more to come…some we know of (like more videos, for starters) but a lot we don’t know yet. The internet is becoming more and more playful and community-oriented, especially with the newly emerging forms of interactive and creative dialogue.
Is There Something in my Teeth?
There’s likely to still be a few bugs we haven’t caught yet. If you see something that looks buggy or is simply broken, tell us. Don’t let us sit here with a big smile and a gob of lettuce stuck in our teeth. 
I don’t usually go in for nostalgia, but just for fun and some visual history, I loaded a screen-shot of our former home page above.

This looks great you guys – I love all the new changes, especially the West Africa program. Very cool idea! And the ‘Good’ project looks like it’s going to be even better than I thought upon first reading about it. Can’t wait to see the final product!

Vanessa,
Have you thought about Television? Really that was a great video and everyone did a great job pulling it together. Seriously Vanessa, TV?

Did we say a “few” bugs?…we’ve all been experiencing some slow loading times and are looking into this… If that’s happening for you too, bear with us. And if you encounter other problems, e-mail them to molly at ljurban.com.
Some of you savvy folk have caught onto our other site as well, where we are also working out some bugs, especially in Safari and IE 6.0.

Great job with the website and new video posting! It’s so nice to see some optimism and positive thinking again with regards to the home market. Keep up the “good” work and remember, If you build it…they will come : )
