Atop the homepage, on the menu bar between the accumulated Treehouse points and the notification bell, is displayed my avatar. There is a circle around said avatar that is sometimes red, sometimes blue and sometimes a bit of both. What is the significance of this? Is this a form of progress bar? And if so, what is being monitored?
Thanks, Steve M.

Your profile page (your personal one is HERE) shows you a detailed breakdown of the "treehouse points" you have accumulated in each area of study. What I see on your ring right now is mostly red (Development Tools) and a little blue (HTML).
