CapTimes Redesign

CapTimes Redesign

Blow by blow account of the refactoring of captimes.com

New features and then some more new features

Timothy Nott  — 

We've added the timeliness indicator on the home page as well as links to individual blogs as discussed in the last blog posting.

There has been a lot of support for search, which seems like a no-brainer. We need to have a reliable search function on our site. We have new technology on the way that should provide this function, but it would be great to have an interim solution. Josh and Jonathan have suggested Google, which offers a great service with both free and an enhanced paid options. As Capital Newspapers has an agreement with Yahoo through its association with Lee Enterprises, we will likely try to implement their similar solution.

I'll start banging on that this afternoon and add new postings with progress as soon as I have something that actually returns results. Chime in with your feedback and I'll try to get all your suggestions integrated into the final result.

Thanks again to everyone participating in this process.
