There's no place like home.

You may have heard the drum roll, and we're now 12 shades of proud to reveal Redbubble's new look.

We kept the awesome, and streamlined the stuff that wasn't used so much, making the homepage the centre of your RB experience.

You can sign in to your RB account for a personalised experience. You can check if you're signed in at any time by pointing your eyes to the top right side of the page; you will see your user name if you're signed in, and "Sign in" if you're not.

If you ever need to get back home, click your heels together three times, or simply click on the Redbubble logo on the top left of any page around the website.

What can I do here?

The new homepage is a springboard to all the good stuff you need: from your orders history, adding, managing or editing works, letting you jump to your favourite groups, forums, or even your sales history - make sure you sign in to see the stuff you like!

As well as being able to display more and more creative works right on the homepage, you can also customise what you want to see in the image flow.

What's on the menu?

When signed in, you will see additional menus down the left side of the homepage, and it is from these menus you can access all the awesome that is Shop, Account Details (including your sales history), Portfolio, Journals, Groups and Forums.

If a menu item has a little black triangle next to it like this one, it means you can click it to expand and see more options:

Bonus menu: when signed in, hover over your username avatar at the top left side of the page for a few shortcuts to the most commonly visited places.

Where is MyBubble?

That's a good question, one we asked ourselves in an existential kind of way: Where is MyBubble? What is MyBubble? What do we use this page for? The answers were overwhelmingly simple - MyBubble was a homepage.

"Wait," we said, "we already have one of those!"

And so it made sense to bring all of that together, in one place. A place for news, your activity feed, an overview of new works, and a launchpad into the things you do regularly - except, even better.

No need to navel-gaze, simply sign in to your Redbubble account, and take a peek at the menu options down the left hand side of the homepage for the answers you seek!

Where is my watchlist, image feed and activity feed?

Everything that you're looking for (and more) can be found on the homepage.

• "Found" for all of the brilliant things we find on our travels like a "staff pics" list

  • "Following" for new work and favourites from artists that you are following
  • "Activity", to see how your own work is tracking, and notifications of sales or other artists interacting with you.

If you don't see all three sections on the middle right side above the image flow, you can sign in by clicking the "sign in" link on the top right of the page.

You can hover over the activity feed link to see a filter menu.

Can I choose my default feed?

The short answer is a resounding yes!

While logged in, your homepage will remember the last selected feed, whether it's "Found", "Following" or "Activity". Stopping by your homepage at any point while exploring the bubble-sphere will then take you directly to the remembered feed.

Where are the community and explore pages?

We looked at the features that were used, and the things that weren't. It became clear that the explore and community pages could be broken down into the two most used sections that are Groups and Forums, to which you can now bounce straight from the homepage.

If there is a triangle, this means you can click to expand that menu and see more. For instance, check out "All Followed Topics" underneath Forums, which leads to a handy reference page for every topic that you're currently following.

You'll also find "All recent journals" on the left side navigation menu of the homepage.

How can I BubbleMail someone?

If you like to chew the fat, you can use BubbleMail to get your message across. When looking at a profile or portfolio page, just click on the little speech bubble (see what we did there?) to get the conversation started.

Can I have my own shop?

The new layout extends to your profile and portfolio pages, maintaining the focus on you, and the art and design you create.

You'll find the usual juicy stuff on the top horizontal navigation bar - see what an artist has favourited, and who they are following, as well as being able to browse their wares on the tab called "Shop".

That's right folks, you can send someone to your own mini-shop in the Redbubble marketplace with the following URL:

http://www.redbubble.com/people/YOURUSERNAME/shop

The "Shop" includes all of the public works in your portfolio, and the product preview types are randomly selected from the available options for each work, in order to provide a diverse and varied shopfront.

And

To help you share the work you love with the world, you can now follow, tweet about, or like an artist on Facebook directly from the top of each profile or portfolio page.
