The New London Day debuted a clean, new look for its website this morning. The following are some of the changes being touted by Jennifer Sammons, the Day’s Digital News Director.
Some of the additional features you’ll find on the new site are TV grids, local movie times and editorial cartoons. We’re also launching dynamic new live-chatting software, through which in the coming weeks you’ll be able to ask questions and speak with local community figures.
There’s a brand new mobile site, making theday.com more accessible from just about anywhere. And when you register for the new theday.com, you’ll have the opportunity to sign up for mobile and e-mail alerts on topics like breaking news and severe weather.
The site you see today has been months in the making and we hope you enjoy the new look and simplified navigation. One of the biggest additions is our collection of town pages. We’ve set up pages for 38 towns on the coastline, from Westerly to North Haven, and this is where you’ll find all of the local news happening in your town. Content on these pages is culled from The Day, The Times weeklies, Shore Publishing and from our readers. Yep, you can add your local news, photos and calendar events right there on the town pages. You’ll find these new pages in the blue “Town News/Zip06” box on the right-hand side of the home page.
