Changes to LinkedIn Layout
I wanted to mention that I was working with a client on his LinkedIn profile today and noticed that my page was looking different! And especially different than his. So, I wanted to warn some of you who heard me talk about LinkedIn’s 3 column layout that they are changing to a two column layout and collapsing the left-hand navigation bar into the top of the page navigation bar. This is a little disconcerting at first, but I guess we will adjust!
The information below is straight from LinkedIn and as you can see, some of you are seeing the new layout and some are not, so don’t be surprised/thrown by this.
And another FYI, some of you asked me to let you know when the new dates were posted for upcoming Labs.
Here’s the link to the page on my site called COURSES with the information on both LinkedIn Labs and TwitterLabs (and how to register):

*************************From LinkedIn about the new layout *******************************
Have you changed the navigational bars on the site?
You may have noticed a new site navigation experience on LinkedIn. We are in the process of doing limited testing on a new design that should wrap up over the next few weeks. During this testing phase, some users will see the new design, while others will not.
Here are some of the new things you could see:
- A global navigation bar at the top of the page that provides convenient access to all LinkedIn services. Everything you used in the left navigation bar is now available through the drop down menu categories in the top navigation bar.
- Simplified local navigation within each of the LinkedIn areas (Profile, Contacts, Groups, etc.).
- More room available for page content and less scrolling.
- A cleaner, less-cluttered look.
Happy networking!
