New Things at New West


By Jonathan Weber, 9-15-05

You've probably noticed some changes this week here at New West, mostly on the city pages. Here's the rundown:

  • On the city pages, we've introduced a feature called "Intelligencer," designed to highlight service features such as travel stories, events, and tips on interesting things to see and do around town.

  • We've also created a section called "Featured Blogs," which will point to interesting sites within the New West Network, and outside it as well.

  • We're now giving a little more glory to our fantastic writers by listing them on the upper left, with links to their own pages. Click on the names of your favorite writers and see all of their stories on their very own blogs.

  • On the Front Page and the city pages, we now have a new type of story on the site and a new term - Blogvertorial. This is a place where our advertisers and marketing partners can tell their stories in whatever way they would like, while taking advantage of our interactive features such as comments. These are paid positions, but we think you'll find the content interesting.

  • And finally, we've changed the name of our Citizen Journalism feature to "Unfiltered," and given it a more prominent spot on the city pages. This is the place that you can write whatever you'd like. The headlines of the "Unfiltered" posts will now appear on the main city pages, and as always we'll take the best unfiltered stories and post them to the main pages as well.
