openworm.org Usability #4

[balicea]

Concern: links at the top and bottom of the openworm.org page are inconsistent and incomplete. Hard to navigate all materials and some materials might be better placed elsewhere on the page.

Solution:

1. "Enter the Worm" link should be more prominent, as it is a link to the Worm Browser tool (see Add link to our Blog, readthedocs, Gitter, Slack on the front page #97).
2. "Educators" page (http://www.openworm.org/educators.html) has no link from front page, and could be updated by filling in "coming soons" and adding links to Badge System, Demos (e.g. WormWorx), and Jupyter notebooks (when functional).
3. need a link to Open House page (http://www.openworm.org/open-house.htm), which provides links to video presentations and archived materials.
4. update language, make media materials more accessible (Stephen's introductory talk is a good example).

See attached screenshots of how some of these points could be implemented.

@balicea these are fantastic suggestions. Thanks for looking into this.

1. At this point the link to the Worm Browser tool is now very prominent, a big black button:

The other items in this issue should probably be made into separate, very specific issues. Two more things:

1. An "about us" should be added to the top navigation window, linking to www.openworm.org/people.htm

2. The "Latest News" section should either be eliminated or brought up to date, since the last item is from 2016.
