Default Website Look Is Different

Noticed that the website has a different look to it now than say a week ago.

Took me a few minutes to find the relocated "search" area . . . It's not under the tools tab anymore. Moved over to the top right of the page . . .

Website was always a little difficult to access & navigate whenever I used my tablet during travel away from home (getting to where I hate lugging around the laptop during trips). Hopefully these changes will make accessing & navigating the site somewhat easier now.
