Webmaster

We have moved our blogs to a new, updated blogging system. We are now blogging using Wordpress. According to the Wordpress website:

“WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability”.

For me, I know there will be a bit of a learning curve. I work in the Interactive department of a Newspaper. Things are constantly in change on the web. And, without a doubt, the newspaper industry is in a state of change. Still, I must fit adapting to this change into my schedule of managing all of the other change. Wheew!

Please be patient with me, and my fellow bloggers as we adapt to this particular change. Since you are able to read this post, I have already figured out a little.

Wow! The comments are pouring in. I am, of course, writing about our redesigned site. On this past Thursday, we launched a completely overhauled TheTimesnews.com

Most of you love the new site and its features. A few of you do not. I want to offer this blog as another place that you can communicate your comments with us, and the world.

Over the next several weeks, in this blog, I hope to point out some of the site’s new features, and answer questions from you, our site visitors.

Please, poke around the site, spend some time with it. Then, send us your comments, questions, or point out things that we missed updating (I am sure there are more than a few). Enjoy!

We have redesigned our real estate section. This redesign is in both print and online. Be sure to check out the Saturday print edition, this and every Saturday. Content has drastically changed. We have moved Rett Davis’ column to the section, added new features that change weekly, and have made the section a much better read. Additionally, we added a lot of online content such as videos, blogs, and lots of photos. Check out the online content Here

Wow! The public loves this site so far.

Now, you can browse or search through our database of local folks who are wanted. Currently, you can search by name, AKA, or offense. We have plans to add other search criteria. Take a look. See if there is anybody that you recognize on the Alamance County Most Wanted list.
