Globe Life online is more than just daily news. It's a guide for how to Live Better.
That message from April 2007 (when we launched the Globe Life channel) is the same today as we unveil a new version of the site that offers the quality our readers expect from us, but adds more visually exciting and inspirational content in all areas.
You'll notice a dramatic facelift to our home page, designed to provide you with a friendlier, more graphically rich way to navigate the content.
The carousel at the top of our Life homepage serves up an array of articles, columns, videos, photo galleries and discussions from the various content areas: Health & Fitness, Food & Wine, Style, Travel and Family & Relationships.
In keeping with our mandate to provide you with timely news and views, we'll update this area frequently throughout the day, seven days a week. At any given time, you'll be able to rotate through a minimum 12 images, all of which will display at least three links for you to access related content.
Below are some of the new and revamped content you'll see on the site. It includes a new blog, 140 new videos and travel features.
The Hot Button Blog : This is what people are talking about, and what we think people should be talking about. It will allow us to jump immediately on the type of talking-point stories that we know can suddenly dominate public imagination and conversation.
