Agreed Kris - your main point hits the nail on the head..........all of your other points are great too !!
Thank You

The "word for the day", that was in MAAN for awhile was interesting.
Still remember that "hubricious" word. Need a hubricious word of the day posting. Could probably link it to a website for auto-updating.

- Calendars aren't up to date
- Some links broken
- There's more, but you get the point, we already know the problem areas.
Just a suggestion.......shut off the stuff that doesn't work until they're ready to use.
Just don't shutoff the Town Forum........we'd miss that one !!
Overall, I think the website is a great idea for this area, and will be a great asset once it's tidied up. Nice of y'all to ask for input, thanks !!

Yes my friend.
However this is the NWO, not a big town publication.
Resources are limited, as you might expect with a high quality once a week periodical that is no cost to the consumer.
Therefore it is appreciated if all would be patient with the updates. You can expect a high quality product when completed.

I noticed the ad banner in the middle seems to come & go with ads. Yesterday it was a Bed & Breakfast, today it's gone. The B&B ad looked really good.
Like Pappy, I also noticed the dates on the articles, which is a real plus. Now you can tell how old the article is.
Continuous improvement is good.

I know the ads probably help pay the bills (?) but I don't really consider that an "improvement" to the website. Sorry, just my honest opinion.
Now, the breaking news (like the info on the YMCA and the school meeting on March 2nd) - things that happened after that week's paper went to print - THAT is useful! That's something that will bring people back to the website if they know there will consistently be something new there....

Like most have already posted, having the existing links working properly would be good.... and add a link from the forum to the main site would be great too!
I would like to see more polls too! The Summerfield/Aqua Water poll was cool. We might could even sway our politicians! (yeah right!)
A local job opening listing would be good... not that there are a lot up this way... but being without one and new to the area, it would be a good resouce for me!
Keep up the good work... ya'll do a wonderful job already!
