Seiche Sanders' portraitAs some of you may have noticed, there have been some changes to www.cleanlink.com — the Web site that serves readers of Sanitary Maintenance and those of SM’s sister publications, Contracting Profits and Housekeeping Solutions.

After many discussions centering on what the ideal Web site would look like and what content is crucial for our readers, we launched the redesigned site on May 21.

I believe the product that we have created will go a long way toward fulfilling your business needs for years to come. Some features have been improved upon: easier access to the “Buyers Guide,” a more prominent “Product Watch” and highlighted news and company updates.

Other sections of the site are new, including a drop-down navigational bar at the top of the page that allows users to more easily find articles on topics they want to know more about. We have also added an “Editor’s Picks” section, intended to highlight relevant articles and columns from our archives.

Lastly, we have added editor-written blogs. The blog for distributors will feature posts from myself and Associate Editor Nick Bragg. In this section, we will provide our readers with even more information than we can fit into the pages of the magazine. We also hope that the blog will serve as an interactive portal between you and us.

So, visit the new CleanLink and let us know what you think!
