Whatever. I apologize for the long break. There's nothing worse than a blog that promises to keep the audience up to date on something and then the blogger kind of spaces out. Really, I just didn't have anything momentous to talk about. We've been hard at work on the 77square.com site and we should have some sneak peak items shortly, but a lot of the work has been set up type stuff. Nothing pretty to show. Nothing about which we can ask for feedback. Just painstaking minutiae that one hopes to get right the first time.
One minor tweak that was actually made some time ago will make an appearance soon on the CT site. We've been using Google Docs to manage some of our data. As a result, we're able to deliver nicely formated tables of data within articles. The sports team is working on some savory summer stats highlighting the cream of the Home Talent League.
Speaking of data management, anyone out there using any cool online database tools? We've tried Caspio and found it lacking in almost every manner with the notable exception of expense.
As we transition from a daily paper with a website to a breaking news website and a weekly news and opinion magazine, we will blog our progress and seek your feedback.
