I check the shapeways main page a few times per day for a quick update.
But ever since the "blog" and "forum" topics moved way down, I keep scrolling all over the place.
At first I didn't even see they were down there and missed a few blog-posts.
I understand lots of different kind of people visit the site and you need a certain balance, but might I make another suggestion ?
The "shapeways in the press box" is a bit large, and also static.
Why not swap the blog summary with the press box.
(and make the press box wider/less high)
And it seems the "Free shipping box" is a bit unnecessary.
Seeing that shipping is always included/free, why not add a sort of stamp (like "beta") to the top header. "Free shipping" Seems like a good promotion on any page. Same for the "We're hiring"
This would free up space for the forum post list.
It could be the sudden summer heat, but I think they are sane suggestions ?

Regarding the Blog and Forum links, you can also find them in the Community drop-down menu. No need to scroll all the way down Shapeways International Customer Service Manager
I'm currently researching if it makes sense to have a decicated 'community homepage' that works more like a dashboard for members, with stuff like news overview, forum list, event calendar, member spotlight/interview etc.
