The Courier Online turns on tomorrow

The Courier's Web site, hacked during late last year, will be up again tomorrow. The site will have new features, updates will be more frequent and there will be more photography. As can be expected, there are a great many more security features with this site and the problem with hacking won't be happening again.

Story content will be slightly different. On the Web, readers are looking for news fast. So stories will be written for a readership that is keen on getting the news and getting moving onto something else. Updates will be throughout the week, with photography, so whatever is happening during the course of any given day will be Online, courtesy of The Courier's News Dept.

The Courier Online is editorially designed to survey news five times a week from the 10 towns the newspaper has covered since 1955, Northern Monmouth County's Bayshore.

Whether you are a local looking for what's happening, a realtor looking for some helpful tips about the Bayshore, or someone who moved away and want to keep up with the news, The Courier Online will be a helpful stop along the Information Super Highway.

I thank our Online readers for their patience, and look forward to feedback on our new product. The Courier Online's launch has been quite a project for Courier Editor Somdatta Sengupta, who has done a truly outstanding job on this work. She will be joined in this launch by graphic artist Timothy Kovach, a new face to The Courier who joined us a week ago.

So with finger's crossed, please be sure to stop by The Courier Online tomorrow.
