Soft Launch
It’s
what’s known as a soft launch.
With
no real advance notice, we unveiled our new Charleston.net early today and
await response from readers.
Paul
Crawford, our new Internet director, chose to do it this way to give us time to
work out any bugs in the site before we start promoting it.
Our
viewers will find a much richer site that will be THE place to go in Charleston
for breaking news, as well as for the content in that day’s Post and Courier.
Charleston.net, which will be up very early each morning, offers a new design and many
enhancements, including daily news e-mail alerts, text alerts to cell phones,
polls, and a place to comment on stories.
You
can expect more audio and video offerings on our Web site as well.
We
expect you’ll let us know what else you’d like to see.
Just this minute saw the new site, thanks to a post in Lowcountry Blogs. It looks very nice, seems fast, and I LOVE the ability to read blogger posts, to comment, and e-mail functionality. What a nice first step!

Thanks for the kind words. So far the feedback has been very positive and we will continue to roll out enhancements in the coming weeks and months.
