SooToday.com: doing news more differently

In case you didn't notice, we've freshened up our look at SooToday.com.

The first thing our loyal readers will probably notice is the cleaner, more inviting layout of the main page.

Then next thing you'll likely notice are the new headlines on our main news page.

The sports page has come home and we've added national news to the main page as well.

But the biggest change we've made is to make it easier for you to tell us what you think of the stories and releases we post.

As reader comments and discussion of stories we've had lately have proved, our readers have a lot of interesting and intelligent things to add to developing stories.

Scroll down.

See that comment section at the bottom of this page?

Yup, there's one just like it the bottom of every page we publish now (with the exception of the national news stories).

Of course we'll be checking in to see who's been naughty and who's been nice.

And we're hoping you'll help out by reporting posts that are off topic, defamatory or racist.

Now you can come back often to see what your friends and neighbours are saying about our proudly local, fiercely independent news.
