今天对我们来说是重要的一天：7tutorials.com 已转变为 digitalcitizen.life。不要害怕，我们没有把我们的网站卖给别人，我们也没有改变我们的团队。仍然是我们，以您迄今为止喜欢的风格写作。我们想要一个更适合我们长期抱负的全新身份。这就是我们选择将自己重命名为Digital Citizen的原因以及我们对未来的期望：
为什么是数字公民？
随着我们的成长，我们对我们的名字越来越不满意：7 Tutorials。当我们在 2009 年开始时，这是一个不错的选择，因为我们的网站上充斥着Windows 7教程，而且它是在Windows 7推出的那个月推出的。
7 Tutorials是未来几年的合适名称，但随着Windows 8的推出以及我们将内容扩展到新领域，很明显，从长远来看，7 Tutorials对我们和我们的雄心壮志来说并不是一个好品牌.
在过去的几个月里，我们一直致力于这个品牌重塑和重新设计项目(rebranding and redesign project)，我们选择Digital Citizen作为我们的品牌名称(brand name)，原因如下：
- 我们的受众不再仅仅是使用Windows的人。我们的读者使用越来越多的设备和操作系统，这在我们的流量和统计数据中很明显。
- 在内容方面，我们不再只是关于Windows 和微软(Windows and Microsoft)，而是关于你的数字生活，作为一个整体。我们仍然需要在新的方向上开发内容，而不是你习惯的方向，但这将在接下来的几个月内实现。
- 使用信息技术(information technology)的人是数字公民，即使他们没有意识到这一点。
- 每个人都试图驯服技术，以便在工作中更有生产力和效率，以便与他人更好更快地交流，从而获得乐趣。
- 我们的目标是帮助所有数字公民在使用技术时实现他们的目标。我们来这里是为了确保您富有成效，玩得开心，并确保您拥有安全和健康的数字体验。
对数字公民有什么期望
您会看到我们新的令人兴奋的文章，我们将慢慢开发新的系列内容，将我们带入全新的方向。
我们的新口号“数字世界中的生活(Life)”认识到有多少技术围绕着我们生活的方方面面，以及有时很难理解它。
我们已经开始撰写有关Android的文章。过去，我们还介绍了Xbox One以及如何使用可穿戴设备和应用程序来维持或改善您的健康。这些都是我们未来想要投资的领域。
我们也不再只是关于教程。我们在产品评论上投入了大量资金，我们将继续这样做。我们还有Tech Lolz 系列(Tech Lolz series)，它对技术以及人们如何使用它采取了一种坦率的态度。
我们将继续试验和开发除“ Windows教程”之外的更多新闻系列(news series)内容。
我们想从你这里得到什么？

7 Tutorials has become : Here's what to expect!
Today is a huge day for us: 7tutorials.com has transformed into dіgitalcitizen.life. Don't get scared, we have not sold our website to others and we did not change our team. It's still us, writing in the same stуle you have enjoyed so far. We wanted a new, fresh identity that's more suitable for оur long-term аmbitions. Here's why we chose to rename ourselves Digital Citizen and what to expect from us in the future:
Why Digital Citizen?
As we grew, we became less happy with our name: 7 Tutorials. When we started, back in 2009, it was a good choice because our website was filled with Windows 7 tutorials and it was launched in the month when Windows 7 was launched.
7 Tutorials was a suitable name for the next couple of years but, as Windows 8 was made available and we extended our content into new areas, it was clearer that, long-term, 7 Tutorials was not a good brand for us and our ambitions.
We have spent the last couple of months working on this rebranding and redesign project and we chose Digital Citizen as our brand name for the following reasons:
- Our audience is no longer made only of people who use Windows. Our readers use an increasing variety of devices and operating systems and this is apparent in our traffic numbers and statistics.
- In terms of content, we are no longer only about Windows and Microsoft but about your digital life, as a whole. We still have to develop content in new directions than what you have been used to but that will come in the next months.
- People who use information technology are digital citizens, even if they are not aware of it.
- Everyone tries to tame technology so that they can be more productive and effective in their work, so that they can communicate better and faster with others, so that they have fun.
- Our aim is to help all digital citizens achieve their goals when using technology. We are here to make sure that you are productive, that you have fun and that you have a secure and healthy digital experience.
What to expect from Digital Citizen
You will see new exciting articles from us and we will slowly develop new series of content that will take us into completely new directions.
Our new slogan "Life in a digital world" recognizes how much technology surrounds every aspect of our life and how difficult it is at times to make sense of it.
We have already started writing about Android. In the past we have also covered Xbox One and how to use wearables and apps to maintain or improve your health. These are all areas in which we want to invest in the future.
We are also no longer only about tutorials. We have invested a lot into product reviews and we will continue to do so. We also have the Tech Lolz series, which takes a tongue in cheek approach about technology and how people use it.
We will continue to experiment and develop news series of content that add a lot more besides "tutorials about Windows".
What do we want from you?
We want you to keep reading us and provide us with feedback. If there's something that annoys you, let us know. If there's content you would like us to write, let us know. If you have any questions, let us know.
