A quick note on two changes to our sites as of this morning:
- After relaunching the sites several months ago, we’re out of beta! We’ve moved dozens of enhancements to the sites over the past months and improved our stability. We’re pretty thrilled with the sites, and judging by the tremendous increase in traffic we’ve seen, so are our users.
- One of the big reasons we’re out of beta: We now have RSS feeds for our most popular headline lists, from breaking news to headlines about your town to high school sports stories. You may have already noticed little RSS icons dotting our pages. You’ll see more in the future.
- We moved our search box into our header, giving us more area to promote some of our great content and making it easier for our users to quickly find what they’re looking for. Behold:
Our new search module
More new stuff is coming. Stay tuned!
So why can’t one share an article by emailing it? Not everyone uses facebook and twitter.

So does this mean you’re finally going to update the wedding/engagement pages on the site?

Most are broken, like this one:

I agree with the previous posters. Having all the “tweets” pop up under comments seems a bit silly. Also, what happened to the email application? It’s a real pain to “copy & paste” in order to send a story to friends and colleagues.

B – You’re right, they’re not all working. Our developers are looking into the problem. Thanks for your patience.
Bob – We agree completely, and we’re completely overhauling our commenting system soon.
