What's happening, LDN?

A number of new developments are happening at Lincoln Daily News.  Here is what has happened recently, and what we have in store for you in the very near future.

1Monday May 1, 2000:  Marty Ahrends joins LDN staff.  Marty has come along-side to manage our Display and Classified ad sales.  When you see her out and about, say howdy.

2.  Friday May 5, 2000:  Fuzz Werth joins LDN reporting staff.  You all would recognize Fuzz as that really nice guy from the local DMV office.  In addition to his incredible ability to be patient with you when you need your sticker renewed, Fuzz is an accomplished writer.  Glad you could join us, Fuzz.

3.  Sometime here in the month of May: Rachael Shelley joined our staff (they snuck her in there on me).  Welcome, Rachael.  Looking forward to introducing your writing to our readers.

4.  Friday May 19, 2000:  We've moved to a new, faster server with the needed services and disk space to accommodate the future growth and services we are planning.  Yee-hah!


Future events will not necessarily take place in this order:

5.  Near Future:  LDN Archives online and accessible.  All past LDN stories and features will be online, indexed, and open to the public.  [About time!]

6.  Near Future:  Search Engine installed for local searches through LDN archives.  In addition to being able to read past LDN stories and features, you will be able to search for names, words and phrases.  <<Yow>>

7.  Near Future:  LDN will debut a new pictorial feature which we are sure will get your attention and keep you coming back.  Sorry we can't tell you more -- it would tip off the other news-guys!

8.  Near Future:  LDN is planning several multimedia features which you will find irresistible.  Sights and sounds will be coming your way, live.  [Our crack scientists are working on smells, too, but we still have a long way to go].

9.  Near Future:  LDN is working on some programming which will allow you to easily send articles to your friends through email.  SEND LDN TO A FRIEND!

10. Near Future:  LDN is working on some new advertising layouts which will be a dynamite way to advertise your business or service.  Keep your eyes peeled for more details.

In addition to these plans we are sharing with you, we are also working late to improve on our website, improve our formatting and make LDN easier to navigate.
