After many months of planning, coding, testing and tweaking, we are ready to go live with our new website.

In this newsletter, we focus on two topics that affect CZTs:
  • Activating your new account
  • Updating your personal CZT page
We also provide contact info so you can report any issues you find. After that, we will announce the change and invite the general public to take a tour of the new site.

We look forward to your comments.

Enjoy!



About Our New Website(s)

Actually, there are TWO new websites: zentangle.events and zentangle.com.

Zentangle.events will now host CZT contact and class information together with Zentangle event information. So, w hen users wish to find a CZT to take a class or to register for a Zentangle sponsored event, those links will take them to zentangle.events.

Below are instructions for logging to both sites and for setting up your personal CZT page.

Please follow these instructions 
carefully and thoroughly!

Regarding zentangle.com, it was time to shift our web platform and update our website. (For you techies out there, we were on Drupal and now we are on Shopify.)

With this platform we should be fully function across multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer) on computers, phones and tablets, whether Apple or Android.

The user experience is much quicker and more intuitive. Shopify offers the prospect that we can stay with this platform for a while as we continue to expand and add new features.


 
About zentangle.events

We created zentangle.events to handle the registration process for Zentangle sponsored events. 

With the launch of our new website, this site will also serve as our new (and improved!) CZT directory. To ensure that your information is complete, you will need to login and update your profile.

We made efforts to transfer transfer your most current profile information to zentangle.events. However, there may be errors. For instance, we were not able to transfer special language characters accurately. Also, if you made changes after we transferred your info, it won't be up-to-date.


You can access your current profile on zentangle.com to transfer information. The current zentangle.com will be available until we transfer to our new website on October 31, 2017. AFTER that, you will then be able to access the old site by going to this archive site which will be available from October 31st until November 14th, 2017.


Beta Forum of zentangle.events
We are testing a new forum format for CZTs within zentangle.events to supplement and eventually replace the yahoo teachers forum. 
FORUM
You will see that option when you login to your CZT account on zentangle.events.

We look forward to your comments and suggestions on this new forum (which you can again forward to [email protected]).


 
About zentangle.com

We are very excited to announce we are scheduled to launch the new zentangle.com on Tuesday, October 31, 2017. 

We could not transfer all of your account information from the current site to the new site because we don't know your password. 

Also, we were unable to carry over your order history. If you need any of this information for your business/tax purposes. Please record this information before Tuesday, October 31, 2017.

Therefore, we created new CZT accounts for you and after migration is complete you will receive an account invitation from [email protected] to activate these accounts

Please follow the directions in that email to login to your account.  It is very important that you take a moment to go over and confirm your account details. 

(Remember, you need to do this even though you have a login for zentangle.events.)

During that process you will be instructed to create a password for your new zentangle.com account.

We did our best to upload the most recent and complete information but it is important that you take the time to verify your name, address and phone number. 

Please add  [email protected]  to your address book to ensure that the invitation does not go into your spam folder. 

If you do not receive an invitation by the end of the day on Tuesday, please email [email protected].

It can take up to 24 hours for the transfer to complete for your invitation to arrive, so please be patient. We are letting you know ahead of time incase you need to place an order before we make the transition.
 

This is the fourth major redo of our website over the past 13 years.  We are so glad to share this adventure with all of you!

Thank you for all your feedback, comments and support.
 

Best from us all,
 
Rick, Maria, Martha, Molly and the whole Zentangle team
