Thanks to “3monkeys” for new masthead look
We want to thank 3monkeys for some great suggestions on how to reorganize the top of the dzone.com pages to make key commands easier to find and to use. He sent in a mockup image of the way he wished it would look, and we liked his ideas a lot. Now it looks pretty much the way 3monkeys envisioned.
The key change is the inclusion of a tabbed menu in the green bar below the dzone logo. 3monkeys and others pointed out that the right-hand sidebar links to add new stories or get to the queue were not sufficiently obvious. Now the links for these are (hopefully) in the first place most people would look.
We have also shifted the search box to the far right, and we modified the login block a little to make it easier to get to your account preferences when you are logged in.

Looks great guys. Love it. I’ll play with it a while and see if there are any outher refinements I can suggest. But I think this goes a long way to improving the usability of the site.
